FOREWORD 

The foundation of this volume was laid by the will of the late 
Samuel St. John, of New York, and New Haven, Conn., published in 
book form in 1852, and now incorporated herein. 

The work has been a labor of love, and it has been my wish that 
all who shall possess the book may enjoy it as much as I have its com- 
pilation. It has cost me a great deal of time and labor, during the 
past decade, expended without thought of compensation, save that 
which came from the satisfaction of preserving records and family 
traditions which were rapidly passing away. No attempt has been 
made to trace the family beyond the first American immigrant. 

Notwithstanding all the efforts made, and care exercised, to verify 
names and dates, there are doubtless many errors. Perhaps an abso- 
lutely correct genealogy was never written. By far the larger por- 
tion of the facts herein recorded has been obtained from family Bibles, 
town, court, and cemetery records, or from published genealogies. 

It is with regret that I confess many failures to receive replies 
to queries sent out, to which must be attributed some lack of connec- 
tion among the records. And now that my work is ended, I particu- 
larly desire to tliank all who responded so kindly to my inquiries, and 
to assure them that I shall ever cherish among my pleasantest memories 
their patient interviews, their warm hospitality, and kind letters. 

To the Rev. Horace E. Hayden, author of Virginia Genealogies, 
and to Mr. David H. Van Hoosear, author of the Van Hoosear Gene- 
alogy, my gratitude is especially given for their valuable aid. I 
desire also to acknowledge the encouragement of the Rev. C. M. Sel- 
leck, Norwalk's historian, and the kind services of Mrs. M. Louisa 
Brodnax, genealogist, of New York City.

THE OLD STYLE AND NEW STYLE CALENDAR 

The year, at the time of the American Colonial period, began 
March 25th and ended March 24th, and so remained until 1752; then 
the change was made to January 1st by Great Britain and her Colonies. 
Other European countries had made the change earlier. 

From 1607 to 1752 double dating was the common practice for 
the months between January 1st and March. This was an attempt to 
give dates for a year beginning March 25th and at the same time 
for a year beginning January 1st. This led to much confusion with 
regard to dates of marriages and births. (For further information 
see articles on " Calendar " and " Chronology " in the Encyclopedia 
Britannica. ) 



INTRODUCTION 

The following items, names, etc., are given here because they ap- 
pear on the records. No proof of connection has as yet been found 
with the first Matthias St. John. 

Viscount Grandison was the son of Nicholas and Elizabeth 
(Blount) St. John. His younger brother, Richard, was ancestor 
of the Irish St. Johns, and I think of our Matthew St. John, who, 
by the way, lived in St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, in London, before 
going to Conn. (N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register, vol. 54, p. 342; 
Colonial Papers; British Public Records.) 

June 24, 1619. Shareholders in London Co. William Sharley 
to Oliver St. John. Mrs. Millicent Ramsden to Oliver St. John. (Va. 
Hist, of Orange Co., N. Y., p. 488.) 

Hector St. John came from France to Hamptonburgh, Orange 
Co., N. Y., and lived where Hezekiah MofFatt lived and died. He 
returned to France during the Rev. War, with one son. He after- 
wards returned to the U. S. as Consul to N. Y. The other son and 
daughter were educated in the eastern part of the U. S. Frances, 
the dau., m. a Frenchman named Otto and went to France. There 
he was made Count Otto and sent to the court at Vienna, etc. (Eagers' 
Hist, of Orange Co., N. Y., p. 488.) 

Permission is granted Mr. Hector St. John to send his family 
by a Flag going up Hudson's River. (Rev. Events No. 205, Genl. 
Pattison issues permits; Orange Co., N. Y., Republican, 1904.) 

Henry Wisner writes Gov. Clinton: "West Point, Feb. 19, 1778. 
I arrived here last evening broke roads over the mountains through 
the snow with 16 teams. I take liberty to observe that the people 
of our country are much alarmed at their apprehensions of St. Johns 
Being permitted to goe to New York I asked one of the most sensible 
of them what damage he could Doe; he observed that he might Ad- 
vise the Burning of Sterling works in order to prevent our giting 
the Chain done. I told him I believed you would Consider well the 
matter Before you would grant that permition." (Vol. 2, 788, Clinton 
Papers.)

Goodman Nicholas Senchion came from England in the Elizabeth 
and Ann. Nicholas Sension of Windsor, Connecticut, was fined to 
pay five pounds to the Country for not appearing to witness against 
Aaron Starke, July 2, 1640. (Colonial Records, 1, 55; Savage, iv. 
p. 52.) In 1643 he bought the lot of Richard Waller at Windsor 
on Silver St. opposite Pigeon Hill road and built thereon. This lot 
in 1663 was between John Mores and James Eno. " Senshion's house 
was against the waye to Pigeon Hill" (Stiles, Windsor, i. 166, 155). 
In 1654 he was in possession by purchase or otherwise of Matthias 
Sension's lot (idem). He was a member of the Windsor Dragoons 
who, July 3, 1667, received Pouches of Thomas Dibble (i. 184). In 
1675 he was reported among the first class of tax payers at Windsor 
in the hst headed "Family horse and four oxen" (i. 88). In 1676 
he gave 2 shill, 6 pence for the poor of the other colonies (i. 229). 
In 1673 he gave 2 shillings for Church purposes (i. 885). He was 
made freeman at Windsor Oct. 11, 1669 (Col. Rec, ii. 520). 

The Old Church Records of Windsor state that " he married 
his wife Isabel, June 12th 1645, now 1680, and 35 yrs., last June, and 
had no child." She was admitted to the Church, Jan. 22, 1649, and 
was still living in W. Dec. 21, 1677. In 1648 Nicholas was a witness 
to the will of Edward Chalkwell and received from his estate a legacy 
of a gun, sword, and bandoliers, vest, hat, and 40 shillings (Col. Rec, 
i. 492). He was convicted of gross crimes, 1677, and put under 
300 recognizance for his good behaviour, and his lands, housings, 
cattle and household stuff pledged therefor (Stiles, Windsor, ii. 676, 
quoting " Crimes and Misdemeanours," i. 92, 112, State Archives). 
There is nothing: to indicate that he was related to Matthias. 

Nicholas Scnsine, of Windsor, Inventory taken Apl. 8, 1690, 
£11-17-0. Timothy Phelps Senr. and James Ennoe (Court Rec, p. 
14). Apl. 9, 1690, Administer to Saml. Wilson. Distributed to the

of Josiah Gillett, all her wearing clothes and skillet ; the remainder 
of Nicholas Sensions estate is passed over to Samuel Wilson. 



Introduction xv 

Nicholas Sension m. June 12, 1645, Isabel, he d. Sept. 18, 1689, 
she d. Oct. 2, 1689, in Windsor, Ct. (B. M. & D. Windsor, Ct. ; Hart- 
ford Pro. Rec, vol. v. 58 ; Manwaring Digest, p. 505). 

Thomas Senchon was an inhabitant of Windsor, 1639, but it 
does not appear who he was. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record, 
so often quoted, gives this fact: "May 16, 1639, two children died, 
John Phelps and Thomas Senchon's " (Stiles, Windsor, i. 877). 

The same record (i. 878) also gives this: "1647, died Sara 
Senchon." 

Elizabeth St. John, b. at Cayshoe, Bedfordshire, England, in 
1605, the daughter of Sir Oliver and Sarah (Bulkley) St. John, mar- 
ried August 6th, 1629, Samuel Whiting, his second wife (Parish Reg. 
St. Botolph, Boston). She came with him to Lynn, Mass., in May, 
1636 (Memoir of Rev. Samuel Whiting). 



FIRST GENERATION 



FIRST GENERATION 

1 MATTHIAS ST. JOHN, SENSION or SENTION, the first of 
this name whom we can trace in America, was born in England, came to 
Dorchester, Mass., in 1631-2, and was made a freeman there, on Sep- 
tember 3rd, 1634. He received a grant of 20 acres in Dorchester, 
January 14, 1635, " at the bounds betwixt Roxbury and Dorchester." 
We find the record, on January 16, 1636: " It is ordered that Mathias 
Sension and Thomas Sampford shall keepe the cowes this yeere to 
begin the 17th day of Aprill and to continue the keepeing of them 
till the 15th of Nouember to haue for their pay in keepeing 5 shills 
the head for as many as are brought in ; the sayd five shill p' head 
to be payd ^ in hand ^ at halfe the tyme the other at the end of the 
tyme." 

On March 18, 1637, Matthias owned three acres, two goads, and 
three rods in the neck at Dorchester, and two acres, one goad, and 
four rods in the Cow pasture. In 1638 he had sold his house as, on 
April 23, 1638, it was ordered " that Mr. Withington shall haue 
adjoining to his house that was Mr. Sensions the swamp aboue," etc. 
And on October 31, 1639, it was ordered that there should be laid 
out " 3 akers for Mr. Withington which was Mathias Sensions." As 
late as 1674 this property was referred to as that which was Mr. 
Sensions (Dorchester Town Records, iv. 14, 22, 31, 33, 41). 

Matthias St. John moved to Windsor, Conn., in 1640, as in that 
year he had granted to him, at Windsor, a lot in the Palisades con- 
taining ten rods. This was occupied in 1890 by Mrs. Anson Loomis. 
It was bounded. South by the Burying Ground and the road leading 
to it, at the South West corner of the Palisades Green ; East by the 
Green. It was 10 rods wide and 18 rods deep, extending back to the 
Pahsades. A record of the lot was made in the " Book of Figures " 
(the records were so kept before the Court established a Town Clerk 
to keep the records). This lot, with house, was sold to Walter Gay- 
lord, the son of Deacon Gaylord. Sension also owned one of the 
home lots in Backer Row, 27 rods South of North Sandy Hill Road, 
14 rods wide; afterwards found in the possession of Nicholas Sension. 
He also had 24 rods of land in East Windsor, east three miles, bounded 
North by Joshua Carter and South by John Stiles.

4 St. John Genealogy 

In Matthew Grant's Old Church Records, among those who, " Be- 
ing gone yet had children born here," i. e. in Windsor, appears, 
•' Mathias Senchon 3 " (Stiles, Hist. Ancient Windsor, i. 166, 479, 
545, 883). " Mathewe Sension " was a member of the Grand Jury, 
Nov. 19, 1643, and in Dec, 1644 (Col. Records of Conn., i. 95, 114). 
The name Matthias Sension (or Matthew, as given in the index) ap- 
pears on a list of settlers in Wethersfield between 1636 and 1645. 
Matthias was in Wethersfield as early as 1648, if not earher, for when 
Jonas Weede removed to Stamford from Wethersfield about 1640 he 
sold his place to Matthias Sension (St. John). 

In February, 1658, Thomas Wickham, of Wethersfield, recorded 
a house and " garden plot," which he had bought of Matthias Sension, 
late of Wethersfield. He recorded to his son, Thomas, the house he 
had bought of Matthias Sension, bounded N. & E. by High St. Com- 
mon, South by Thos Curtis' Homestead, W. by Thos. Tracy. He 
and his wife, Sarah, in 1673, gave the Matthias Sension house, ware- 
house and " cellar " to their eldest son, Thomas (History of Wethers- 
field, Conn., by Henry R. Stiles, M. D., vol. i. pp. 31, 296, 312). 

Matthias Sension was a Juryman in Particular Court, at Hart- 
ford, Conn., on March 28, 1650; a juror before Edward Hopkins, 
Esq., Gov., Magistrate, May 7, 1650-51. On October 21, 1651, he 
was before a Particular Court at Hartford, apparently owing 14s. 7d. 
As a juror, in May, 1653, he made oath at this Court that John 
Barnes, dec'd, owed him, at his death, £1. Again on June 1st, 1654, 
" Matthias Sension of Wethersfield " was before a Particular Court 
at Hartford because he " had sold syder to Indians by which they was 
Drunke." He was before a Grand Jury, Nov. 13, 1654, and was a 
Juror, Dec, 1654. Matthias Sension had a suit in Part. Court, at 
Hartford, June 7, 1655: "Richard Fellowes Plaintif, Matthias Sen- 
sion Def." in action for debt, with damage of £18. Also, Matthias 
Sension Pltf., Stephen Beckwith Dft., in act. of defamation, dam- 
age £10. And at Quarter Court, Hartford, First Thursday in Mar. 
1655-6, he was brought into the Court, " Owing the Estate of Wm. 
Cross. £3. 19. 4. (Norwalk Records, vol. ii. pp. 8, 28, 41, 53, 57, 62, ' 
67,84,90). 

In 1654 Matthias removed to Norwalk, Conn. Hall states that 
in the " Table of Estates of lands and accommodations in 1655 " ap- 
pear the names of Matthias Sention, Matthias Sention, Jr., and 
Matthew Sention.* Matthias Sention, Sen., bought of Mr. Steeile, 

* " Matthias " is simply the Latin form of " Matthew," and the first Matthias 
sometimes appears in the records as Matthew. If a third Sention appears in the 
list of 1655 it was probably Mark and not Matthew. 



First Generation 5 

of Farmington, who married the widow of Ricliard Seamer, 4 acres. 
" Granted, in addition 1, April 6, 1661, 5 acres, bounded east by Com- 
mon land, west by Town's Highway, north by Samuel Hale's home-lot, 
now Robert Stewart's, south by Matthew Camfield's home lot." On 
March 5, 1657, Matth. Sention, Mark Sention, with Isacke More and 
Ed. Nash, undertook to make and provide a good and sufficient wolfe- 
pitt upon the other side, in some convenient place (Hall's History of 
Norwalk, Conn., pp. 17, 23, 47). Matthias Sention's " eare mark, 
a croppe upon the necre Eare and a slitt cross cutt in the same," was 
Recorded Nov. 20, 1655. In a list of Freemen at Norwalk, taken 
Oct. 11, 1669, appear the names of Math. Sention, Senr., Math. Sen- 
tion, Jr., Marke Sention and Samll. Sention (Col. Rec. Conn., ii. 522). 

Matthias Sention's Will was dated Oct. 19, 1669, and he died in 
Norwalk, in October or November of the same year. His Estate was 
inventoried on Jan. 31, 1669-70. He mentions his wife in his Will 
without giving her name ; wills to his " Mother Selle one cow and one 
ewe," and " unto my dearly beloved brother and sister Hoit, Twenty 
shillings apiece as a token of my love." On Jan. 3, 1670-71, the 
Town of Norwalk voted that his son " Matthias Sension is to take 
up his proportion of six acres to the hundred upon Elie's Nek, next 
to his uncle Hoite." Probably this was Walter Hoite (Whitney, 573). 

The Will of Matthias St. John, Sr., from the Fairfield Probate 
Records, vol. 1665-75, p. 47, is as follows: 

The Last will and testament of Mathias Sension Sen"", of Nor- 
wocke made this 19th of October 1669: Revoking all former will:

SECOND GENERATION 



SECOND GENERATION 

2 MATTHIAS ST. JOHN (Matthias^), b. in T()3(); d. in Dec, 
1 728-9 ; ni. Elizabeth. Matthias St. John's home lot was No. 25 near 
the cove. In 1665 his lands and accommodations were valued at 
£150. He was selectman of Norwalk. Matthias Sention, Jr., entered 
into a fence agreement, 1656; appears on second list, 1657; was 
ordered to pay with others, 1659; was Fence viewer, 1659; was 
granted liberty to make fence across the Highway, 1661-; was granted 
16 ft. of ground, 1665; was granted land, 1660-66; and appears in 
a wolfe killing article, 1667. 

At Town meeting Oct. 5, 1667, it was voted: "Cattle to be 
put in the plantinge fed and kept there by Stephen that day, and 
every day for a month they are to be fetched up by one standingo 
man and another, to be ready at the soundinge of a home to go a 
longc with him, and so to take their turnes until the months is out, 
the time to goe out to fetch up the cattle is at noone ; and it begins 
with Matthias Sention, Jr., and so longe with Walter Hait, and none 
to goe but trained souldiers, and if any neglect they are to forfeite 
2s, to the use of the Towne. Stephen Beckwith hath promised to 
give foureteene dayes, and also as it beginneth with Matthias Sention, 
Jr., he is to give notice and warne the next over night against the 
next day, and so every one the like as it passeth a longe upon the 
forfeiteof 2s. to the use of the Towne " (Vol. T. P., 33). 

Again we find the following: "Charges for the Cowheard: John 
Gregory, 3s. ; Mark Sension, 6s. ; jNIatthias Sension, 7s. ; Sanmel 
Sension, 2s. Mark Sension went with Jores and his canoe halfe a 
day to burne the Islands 1683 " (T. ^., 163). 

Matthias Sention, Jr., was to make the list, Sept. 9, 1668 (T. P., 
83). He took an inventory of Thos. Hale's Est., 1678. James and 
Martha Miller sold part of their Home lot and dwelling in Norwalk, 
one acre and one rood, bounded E. & W. by highwa}^ to ]\Iatthias 
Sention, Dec. 26, 1681-2 (N. L. Rec, vol. i. p." 75). In 1686 Matthias 
Sension made over to his eldest son, Ebenezer, the land and house he 
bought of James Miller (N., i. 85). In 1692 Matthias Sension, Sr., 
deeded to his son James land called " Stickey Plain " (N., i. 102).

Second Generation 19 

The will of Elizaljcth Bacon, late of Hadley, now of Hartford, 
Conn., dated Oct. 30, 1671, contains the following: I give to my

Thomas Porter, of Farmington, Conn. 

The " eare mark " of Marke Sension appears on record as a

Marke Sension complained of Samuel Ely for " INIissimende " (misde- 
meanor) " in his light carriage towards the wife of complainant,"

Whitne, Sr., is named thus in 1721-2 (N. L. Rec, v. 452; Whitney,

Matthew St. John was one of those who bought Ridgefield of 
the Indians, Sept. 30, 1708, was a petitioner for town privileges, May 
12, 1709, and an original settler. In a deed between Catoonah and 
Matthew St. John, Rec. Feb. 3, 1709-10, Matthias, Samuel, Ebenozer 
Sension. and ]\Iatthew St. John, all of Norwalk, are named (R. Rec, 
1). A deed of June 23, 1712, grants to Matthew St. John, his heirs, 
land from the Proprietors (Book 1). Another is dated Dec 10, 1716. 
Matthew St. John deeded land to James Wallis, of Ridgefield, for 
love, Jan. 18, 1716-17. He exchanged land with Joseph Crompton, 
Dec. 11, 1716, and with Moses Northrup, Apr. 4, 1723. He executed, 
Oct. 22, 1717, a " deed to my Brother John Saint John, of Norwalk, 
land his father gave him." May 12, 1730-1, a right of Commonage 
in Norwalk was conveyed by Nathan St. John, of Ridgefield, " to my 
honored Father Matthias^ St. John of ye town of Norwalk." 

Again " Matthew St. John of Ridgefield Ct. by bill of exchange 
with Joseph Lee of Pympawogg, in Norwalk, my Home lot and build- 
ings, House and barn, Apl. 1, 1725 " (vol. i. 7, Ridgefield Records).

Capt. Samuel St. John came from Norwalk with his brother 
Matthew and his father, and was an original proprietor of Ridgefield, 
Sept., 1708, when 24 persons bought the land from the Indians. In 
1709 they took possession of this 20,000 acres and divided them into 
lots, of which No. 1 fell to Capt. St. John. He was made Sergeant 
in 1708. A deed of Benj. Wilson and Samuel St. John, of Ridgefield. 
to Thomas Fitch, names " our sister Deborah Olmsted, father John 
Olmstead, our Honoured Mother-in-law Mrs. Elizabeth Lockwood, late 
widow and relict of our father," Jan. 20, 1710-11, signed Jane Wilson 
and Rebecca St. John (N. L. Rec, iv. 124). 

Lot No. 1, Ridgefield, is located at the S. end of Main St., E. 

side, and is now (1890) occupied by John Keeler. It was " Granted 

by ye Proprietors of ye Town of Ridgefield unto Serjeant Samuel 

Saint John and recorded unto the said Samuel Saint John his heirs 

and assigns forever, a certain parcel of land in the Township of said 

Ridgefield Laycd out for a Home Lott, witli ye first Division added

No. 16 (from division of Matthias Home lot 16), July 25, 1712. He 
deeded land to John Stirdevant, Aug. 10, 1710, recorded July 25, 
1712. Jan. 15, 1719-20 he bought land of Jonathan Wood, recorded 
Sept. 23, 1720. A deed from Abigail St. John, Apr. 28, 1720, to 
Samuel St. John, shows his wife, named as Rebecca. He lived at So. 
Salem, N. Y., where Rebecca was a church member before July 21, 
1752. 

In 1715 Samuel St. John " was one of three appointed to look 
over town and propriety votes and as much as they think necessary, 
order for the file." Li 1718 Lieut. St. John was chosen townsman ; 
in 1720-21, Fence Viewer; lister, in 1724; Townsman, 1727-28; 
Surveyor and Moderator of town meeting, 1729. He was appointed 
Lieut, of the Train Band of Ridgefield, in May, 1718; Captain, in 
May, 1727 (Col. Rec, vii. 91). 

He died before 1756, as his son Noah sold lot No. 1 in Ridge- 
field to Jeremiah Keeler in Mar., 1756. In 1709 Samuel Scnsion deeded 
land from the Estate of his father, Lieut. John Olmstead (N. L. Rec, 
iv. 74). In 1710 Rebecca, wife of Samuel Sension, of Ridgefield, is 
noted (N. L. Rec, iv. 124). In June, 1701, father Matthias St. 
John, Sr., of Norwalk, calls him in deed, " My loving son Samuel of 
Norwalk," and had a deed from him Apr. 5, 1710. Samuel and Mat- 
thew sold an £80 right of Commonage in undivided land of Norwalk, 
" which was my Honored Father's, INIatthias St. John," to Nathan 
Ketcham and John St. John. Mar. 15, 1720-21. P. 55 names " my

stead at Ridgefield, Feb. 24, 1728-9. On Feb. 13, 1740-1, Samuel 
gave a deed to Ralph Isaacs " of ye town of Norwalk," and is de- 
scribed as " Samuel Saint John lately of Ridgefield now living on 
Cortland Manor in ye County of West Chester." This deed con- 
voyed his homestead of 6 acres bounded S. by Norwalk, Sanniel Smith's, 
and common land. North partly by his son Noah's land, for £236

land in Ridgefield of Joseph Piatt, of Milford, Jan. ^2, 1720-21, re- 
corded Jan. 2, 1720-21. 

April 13, 1740, he, with 24 others, obtained a patent of 50,000 
acres in the oblong (S. Salem Town Rec, vol. i. 70). Nov. 24, 1743, 
he, with 23 others, deeded about 300 acres in the oblong to John 
Osborne (S. Salem T. Rec, vol. i. 64). 

On Mar. 3, 1752, we find reference to his widow Hannah. Nathan, 
eldest son, the heirs of Elijah, dec'd., David, Sarah, and Anna, all 
children of Nathan and Hannah St. John. The estate was dist. : 
to the widow, land in Oblong, above the land of Paul Keeler ; to Nathan, 
land in oblong at S. W. Ridge ; to David, land at Round Hill and ob- 
long; to Rachel, land at Pompian Ridge and oblong (see N. L. Rec, 
vii. 146, 1730-1). 

In an old State document in the " Senate House " at Kingston, 
N. Y., a proposed settlement between New York and Conn., as to 
division line, dated June 3, 1731, Nathan St. John is mentioned. The 
land is apparently leased to him with others. A patent dated June 
5, 1731, recites the settlement of the line between New York and Conn., 
on a line parallel with the Hudson.

The will of Samuel St. John, the benefactor, No. 301 above, is 
here given entire: 

I Samuel St. John, of the City and County of New Haven, in 
the State of Connecticut, being of lawful age and of sound and dis- 
posing mind and memory, do make and establish this as and for my 
Last Will and Testament. 

First. I direct my Executors herein after named to pay and 
discharge, within a reasonable time after my death, the expenses of 
my funeral, and also all lawful claims against me. 

Second. All the estate both real and personal of every kind and 
description whatever, which I may own or have right to at the time 
of my death, I give, devise and bequeath as is particularly declared 
and expressed in the following Articles of this Will. 

Third. Of the said estate mentioned in the Second Article of 
this Will, I give the amount of ten thousand dollars, ($10000,) to 
each and every one of my brothers and sisters who shall be living at 
my death, subject to the regulations and provisions hereinafter con- 
tained. 

Fourth. Of the said estate mentioned in the Second Article of 
this Will, I give the amount of five thousand dollars, ($5000,) to each 
and every one of my nephews and nieces who shall be living at my 
death, subject to the regulations and provisions herein after contained. 

Fifth. Of the s/iid estate mentioned in the Second Article of 
this Will, I give the amount of one thousand dollars, ($1000,) to 
each and every one of my nephews and nieces in the second degree 
who shall be living at my death, subject to the regulations and provi- 
sions herein after contained ; (meaning by nephews and nieces in the 
second degree, the children of my nephews and nieces.) 

Sixth. Each and every principal of each and every one of the 
amounts of estate given by this Will as aforesaid, T give, devise and 
bequeath to Isaac H. Townsend and Stephen 1). Pardee, and the sur- 
vivor of them, as joint tenants in fee simple and forever, as a dis- 



126 St. John Genealogy 

tinct fund, upon the trusts and for the purposes following — that 
is to say: — 

Upon Trust to hold the said each and every principal of the 
said each and every amount of estate as a trust fund, during the life 
of the person to whom the said amount is given as aforesaid, and 
to manage the said each and every principal as they shall deem ex- 
pedient, and to receive and collect from time to time the income, 
interests and profits of the same and of the avails thereof, and to 
pay over the nett proceeds of the said income, interests and profits 
to the said person annually during his or her natural life, and in 
the same proportion for the part of the year which may have elapsed 
at the time of his or her death. 

And upon the further Trust, at the death of the said person to 
whom the said amount of estate is given as aforesaid, to convey, trans- 
fer, and pay the said principal of the said bequest to the heirs at 
law of the said person who shall then be living, in the same manner 
and in the same proportions as the same would have descended or 
be distributed to them, according to the present statute of distributions 
of the State of Connecticut, if the said person had owned the same 
as his or her own proper estate at the time of his or her death, and 
had died intestate and solvent. 

Seventh. The annual sums which I direct to be paid to my 
brothers and sisters, and nephews and nieces, and nephews and nieces 
in the second degree, severally, as fully expressed in this Will as 
aforesaid, I intend for their respective personal use and benefit: — and 
I, therefore, particularly provide that no sum or sums intended to 
be paid as aforesaid shall under any circumstances whatever, be an- 
ticipated, aliened, charged, or in any way incumbered, or by any 
means diverted from the personal benefit of the person to whom in- 
tended to be paid ; — and if the said person shall do any act, or if any 
proceeding shall be had at law, or in chancery, or otherwise, by reason 
of which act or proceeding he or she would be deprived, if the trust 
aforesaid in his or her favor were to continue, of the personal receipt 
or enjoyment of any sums or sum aforesaid, or any part thereof, at 
the time of becoming payable ; then and immediately upon such act 
or proceeding, the said trust for the payment to him or her of the 
said annual sums shall cease, determine and become utterly void. — 

And in that event, any sum or sums which shall thereafter be- 
come payable as aforesaid prior to the death of the said person, the 
said trustees shall retain in their own hands, and apply the same from 
time to time, at their discretion, towards the support and maintenance, 
in a suitable and becoming manner, of the said person and of his 
or her family, or of his or her family alone if he or she cannot legally 
be included in the provision; and whatever sum shall remain in their 
hands on the first day of January in any year not applied for the said 
purpose, the said trustees shall immediately pay to the child or chil- 




/2f_,,^^<--<,-cyz,^ /L^T-^^L^c-^lil/^ 



?^^'zI^^?>*V' ^y^:?'^?-'^^-' 





Fifth Gkneratiox 127 

dren of the said person then Hving, and in equal proportions if more 
than one; and in default of such child and children then living, the said 
trustees shall add the same to the principal of the trust fund from 
which it accrued as part thereof. 

And the provisions of this article of this Will shall apply severally 
to all sums and every sum, which shall from time to time accrue as 
aforesaid as income from all and each of the trust funds aforesaid 
respectively. 

Eighth. All rights and interests which shall accrue or belong, 
at any time or times, to any married woman under this Will, shall be 
for her sole and separate use and benefit, free from and independent 
of the debts, claims, control or interference of any husband whatever ; 
and her personal receipts shall in all cases be effectual discharges for 
all money which shall be paid to her, and for all estate which shall be 
conveyed or transferred to her, pursuant to this Will : — and the pro- 
visions of this Article shall apply to every married woman who shall 
have rights or interests under this Will, whether she is now married 
or shall hereafter be married. 

Ninth. I do not intend that any parts or part of this Will shall 
extend to or include any person or persons as devisee or devisees, or 
legatee or legatees, whom the law does not or shall not allow to take 
as such: and if the rules of construction shall, in any case or cases, 
lead to a result different from my said intention, I expressly provide 
that the parts or part of this Will from which such construction may 
arise shall not, in any case whatever, be void for that reason, but shall 
be confined in operation to the persons or person whom the law shall 
allow to take, as though the said persons or person only were reached 
by the said parts or part of this Will. 

Tenth. I hereby authorize and empower the trustees who may 
hold any estate real or personal under this Will, to sell and dispose 
of the same, or any part or parts thereof, and on such credit and 
with such security for the payment of the purchase money as shall 
be satisfactory to them, and to make good and sufficient titles to the 
purchasers : and to invest the avails in such manner as they shall 
deem expedient, and to vary investments from time to time at their dis- 
cretion: — and I hereby authorize and empower my executors to sell 
and dispose of any of my estate real or personal, or any part or 
parts thereof, before distribution shall be made of such estate; with 
the same power, authority and discretion in relation to the same and 
the avails thereof, in all particulars, which I have given the trustees 
as aforesaid. 

The acting executors or executor, or administrators or adminis- 
trator, for the time being, under this Will shall have all the interests, 
rights and powers given by this Will to all the executors ; — and the 
acting trustees or trustee, for the time being, of any trust under 
any part of this Will, whetiier appointed by this Will or otherwise 



1^8 St. John Genealogy 

in due course of law, shall have all the interests, rights and powers 
given by this Will to all the trustees originally named for the said 
trust. 

Eleventh. I give and bequeath the sum of two hundred and fifty 
dollars ($250) to each and every one of the following corporations 
absolutely and forever, to wit, to the New Haven Orphan Asylum for 
the objects and purposes of that institution; and to the Ecclesiastical 
Society of the Congregational denomination in the town of New 
Canaan, of which the Rev. Mr. Smith is pastor, for the objects and 
purposes of that Society ; and to the United Society in New Haven, 
of which the Rev. Mr. Dutton is the pastor, for the use and benefit 
of the sabbath schools of that Society. 

Twelfth. In consideration of my niece Maria Sheffield, the wife 
of Joseph E. Sheffield, having been a member of my family for a 
number of years, I give and devise to her in fee simple and forever 
the land and dwelling house in the City of New Haven, known as 
Number Two (No. 2) St. John Place; and I request that at her 
death she will give the same, or the avails thereof, to her eldest sur- 
viving daughter. And as my said niece is not in circumstances to 
require aid from my estate, I give her the premises aforesaid in testi- 
mony of my regard and affection. 

Thirteenth. In consideration of the kindness and attention of my 
niece Catherine S. St. John, I give and devise to her in fee simple and 
forever the land and dwelling house in the City of New Haven, known 
as Number One (No. 1) St. John Place: — and I direct my executors 
to furnish the said dwelling house with appropriate furniture, and 
in all respects in a suitable and proper manner, at the expense of my 
estate ; and I give and bequeath to my said niece absolutely and 
forever the furniture and other articles with which the said dwelling 
house shall be furnished pursuant to the above direction. 

Fourteenth. All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, 
I give, devise and bequeath to Isaac H. Townsend and Stephen D. Par- 
dee, and the survivor of them, as joint tenants in fee simple and for- 
ever, upon the trusts and for the purposes following— that is to say: — 

Upon Trust to hold the same as a trust fund, and to manage the 
same as they shall deem expedient, and to receive and collect from 
time to time the income, interests and profits of the same and of the 
avails thereof; and of the nett proceeds of the said income, interests 
and profits to pay the sum of two thousand dollars (.$2000) to my 
niece Catherine S. St. John annually during her natural life, and 
in the same proportion for the part of the year which may have 
elapsed at the time of her death, for the support of herself, and of her 
nephews and nieces whom she now has under her care, and of such other 
persons as she, from time to time, may wish and request to be mem- 
bers of her family ; and the balance of the said nett proceeds to add, 
from time to time, to the principal of the trust fund under this Article 
of this Will as part of the same. 



Fifth Generation 1 29 

And upon the further trust, at the death of" the said Catherine 
S. St. John, to add the estate tlien lield in trust under this article, to 
the trust funds wliich shall then l)e held in trust under the Third, 
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Articles of this Will ; and so to add the 
same in proportion to the respective amounts of the said several trust 
funds ; and to hold the said additions as parts of the said funds 
respectively, and subject to the same trusts and regulations: — and 
the said additions shall be made and held as aforesaid, whcever may 
be the trustees or trustee under this Article or the said Third, Fourth, 
PMfth and Sixth Articles, at the time the said additions are to be made 
as aforesaid.

bv me at any time heretofore executed: — and I nominate, constitute 
and appoint Isaac H. Townscnd and Stephen D. Pardee, and the 
survivor of them, the Executors and Executor of this my Last Will 
and Testament. 

Not wishing to subject my Executors to unnecessary inconvenience 
with reference to their official bonds, I hereby direct that neither of 
them shall be required to give, in any State, a bond with surety of 
greater amount than twenty-five thousand dollars ; and for any fur- 
ther sum they may respectively give their own bonds; as I chiefly 
rely upon their integrity, judgment and personal responsibility for the 
faithful settlement of my estate. 

In Testimony Whereof I have hereunto placed my hand and 
seal, at the City of New Haven, this 12th day of September, A. D. 
184-i: — and this Will is written on five folios of paper, numbered 
in succession on the margin of the first pages respectively. 

Signed, sealed, declared and published by the said Samuel St. 
John, the testator, as and for his last will and testament, in presence 
of us, who, in his presence and in presence of each other, have here- 
unto subscribed our names as witnesses, at his request. 

Joscpli Smith, 

Timothy Fowler, SAMUEL ST. JOHN. (Seal) 

Abner Austin. 

All the St. Johns in this country are believed to have descended 
from Matthias St. John, Sen., who, with a large family of sons and 
<laughters, settled in the town of Norwalk, in Fairfield County, Con- 
lucticut, before the year 1654. The name is written " Sention " on 
the town records down to the year 1706, when it first appears as 
" Saintjohn." In 1725 it is first written " St. John," and it was 
generally accented on the first syllable down to the year 1800. Although 
the town records are somewhat imperfect and do not make it abso- 
lutely certain, yet the following appears to be the genealogy of that 
branch of the family to which the late Samuel St. John belonged, 
viz: Matthias, Matthias, Matthias, Benjanu'n, Matthias the father 
of Samuel St. John. IVIatthias, the father of Benjamin, was one of 



130 St. John Genealogy 

the twenty-five persons who purchased the township of Ridgefield, 
in that County, September 30th, 1708. (See Trumbull's History of 
Connecticut, Vol. I, page 460.) 

Benjamin St. John, the grandfather of Samuel, removed from 
Norwalk to Canaan parish, now the town of New Canaan, in Fairfield 
County, in 1744, with his family of four sons and four daughters, 
and died there " about the close of the Revolutionary War." 

His sons Benjamin, Caleb, Matthias, and David, all lived and 
died in New Canaan, and left a numerous posterity. Matthias, the 
father of Samuel, was married June 28th. 1758, to Naomi Weed, 
daughter of Abraham Weed of the same place. He died March 20th, 
1819, aged about 87 years— his wife died August 27th, 1780, at 46 
years of age. They had eleven children, as follows : — 

1st. Abraham, baptized March 25th, 1759. 

2d. Sarah, baptized June 15th, 1760 — married to Isaac Keeler. 

3d. Matthias, baptized August 29th, 1762. 

4th. Esther, baptized July 8th, 1764, died in 1777. 

5th. Enoch, born October 14th, 1765. 

6th. Benjamin, born June 8th, 1767. 

7th. Samuel, born January 27th, 1769. 

8th. Anna, born Nov. 13th, 1770 — married Matthew Benedict. 

9th. John Trowbridge, bom July 26th, 1772. 
10th. Nathan, baptized November 16th, 1775. 
11th. Esther, born March 15th, 1777 — married Benjamin Bates. 

At the decease of Samuel St. John on the 4th day of November, 
1844, but three of his brothers and one sister were living, viz: Enoch, 
Benjamin, John T. and Anna wife of Matthew Benedict. Of these, 
Benjamin St. John is now (August, 1852) the only survivor. 

All the brothers and sisters of Samuel had children and grand- 
children living at the time of his death, except the first Esther, who 
died when thirteen years of age. 

By the will of Samuel St. John three classes of Legatees were 
created — 

1st. His Brothers and Sister living at his decease. 

2d. The children then living of all his brothers and sisters — that 
is, his nephews and nieces. 

3d. The grand children then living of all his brothers and sisters 
— -that is, his grand nephews and nieces. 

The following is a statement of each branch of the family, em- 
bracing the names of all the brothers and sisters of Samuel St. John, 
who had children — of all his nephews and nieces who were living, or 
who had children living at his decease — and of all his grand nephews 
and nieces then living, but including none of either generation who 
died childless prior to his death.

Norwalk, Myer and Daniel being the other two. My father hved 
to be quite old, being eighty-five when he died here in Walton, in 
January, 1811. At eight years of age I was sent to Dutchess county 
New York, where I remained four years. Then I went back to Con- 
necticut and remained until I was twenty years old. Then I joined 
a party of surveyors, bound for Canada. That was in May, 1793. 
We went in a sloop to New York, and then up the Hudson to Albany 
in a sloop. There we hired wagons to carry our baggage to Schenec- 
tady, and we walked to that place through the woods, and took bateaux 
up the Mohawk river to Fort Stanwix. That is where Rome now 
stands, and where the big battle took place between the Americans 
and French at the time of the French war. From Fort Stanwix we had 
our bateaux carried to Wood Creek, six or eight miles. We went 
down Wood Creek to Oneida Lake and through it, by Three River 
Point, to Oswego Fort. The British still had possession of that fort 
and Fort Niagara and had garrisons there. At Oswego Fort I saw the 
red coats. This was the 4th of June, 1793. I then returned to New 
York city. Greenwich Street was then the most western street in the 
city. I was walking in Greenwich Street, and saw a block of 
new buildings with carpenters working inside. I entered one of 'em 
and asked a man where the boss was. He said he was called the 
boss. I told him I wanted work. ' Where are you from ? ' said he. I 
told him from Connecticut. ' Oh, I don't like Yankees. They're 
too apt to be trickish,' he said. His name was Pancoast, and he said he 
came from New Jersey. I told him that was bad. but he couldn't help 
being born there any more than I could in Connecticut. Then he 
laughed and asked me if I was a workman. I told him I had noth- 
ing to say as to that, but I had a recommendation from my father, 
and I handed my letter to him. He read it, and when he got through 
laughing at it he said, ' By God, I'll hire you ! ' While I was in New 
York I was challenged to fight a duel by Pancoast. I declined to accept, 
and that was the end of that scrape. After finishing that job I began 
building a dock in the North River, near the Battery. This was the 
first ever constructed in the North River, and when I went to New 
York there was no dock east of Peck Slip in the East River. The 
dock was being built by old Governor Clinton, and was to be used 
for storing stone on for the use of the city. I don't remember ever 
having seen Governor Clinton on the work, but his son-in-law — I 
forget his name — was there often. I injured myself by heavy lifting 
on the dock. The yelloAv fever visited the harbor and I took it. So 
I returned home to Connecticut. That was in 1796, the year that I 
was married the first time. I remember a great deal about the revolu- 
tionary war. I remember when the British burned Norwalk, and 
I witnessed the burning. I was six years old. I had four brothers in 
the war. My brother Justin was in the battle of Bunker Hill. I 
can remember his coming in the house whae the war first broke out,

and then going away again, after bidding my mother good-bye and 
leaving lier weeping bitterly. I couldn't understand it at the time, 
but learned afterward that he had told niotiier he had enlisted, and 
was going then to join the Continentals. I wasn't more than two years 
old then. It must have been about the time they heard the news from 
Concord and Lexington. I don't rememl)er ever hearing my brother 
speak of any incidents connected with the battle of Bunker Hill or the 
war. When I was five years old a portion of the army, with a long 
train of baggage wagons, passed through Norwalk on their way from 
Boston to New York. ]\Iy mother and I strained our eyes to get sight 
of Justin, but he was with another division and we didn't see him. 

" Peter was my own brother, my father being married twice. He 
was apprenticed to a Tory shoemaker. When the British came to 
Norwalk and burned the town he was sixteen years old. They burned 
the place on Sunday. If there is anything in the world I can re- 
member it is the burning of Norwalk. What a time there was when 
the news came that the British were coming. The women and children 
all fled to the woods and hid behind stumps and bushes. My mother 
took nie on her back and left the house for the woods. Gideon was then 
home, sick from his stay on the prison ships, and could not be moved, 
and father stayed with him at tiie house. The men formed a company 
and went to defend the place. A few houses were not burned but they 
belonged to Tories. I remember the Tories Betts and Hoyt; their 
houses were not burned. The Episcopal churches were all loyal, and 
every minister got orders from the British, before the burning, to 
leave the parishes. They all went off with the British except the 
Rev. ]Mr. Avery of Stamford. Danbury was burned at the same time. 
After the British went aboard the shipping the women and children 
returned from the woods. My mother and I went home. We had 
been there but a few minutes when we saw a company of British light 
horse coming down the road, and we believed they were to continue 
their work of destruction. My mother hurried with me out of the 
house again and got down behind the bushes. The company stopped, 
as we supposed, to get some beer. The British proved to be prisoners, 
which our men had captured and disarmed. They were the only red 
coats I saw during the war. I was six years old when this occurred, 
I was ten years old when the British left the country. I remember 
lloger N. Sherman, one of the signers of the declaration." 

" Was there nmch demonstration made by the people when peace 
was declared? " 

" I guess you'd a thought so if you'd been there! I don't know that 
I ov(>r saw such a universal turn-out. There was o-reat doincfs for the 

c^ try 

number of people, I tell you — nothing like it since. Such bonfires ! 
They'd take a log as big as they could raise up on it's end — say 
twenty feet high when it was up. Around this they piled wood, clean 
to the top, and as ])\<t round as this room. Then they put barrels of 



Sixth Generation 175 

tar on top of the pile and fired it. When the tar melted it ran down over 
the wood and in the flames, and I tell jou everything blazed. That 
was the fall after I was ten years old. I am a centenarian who never 
saw Washington — that is, so far as I know. Shortly after he got 
his commission he passed through Norwalk, but I don't remember see- 
ing him. Guess I never did. We probably didn't know he was coming 
until after he got there. News didn't fly then as it does now. 

" I was married the first time on the 21st of December, 1796, to 
Polly Seymour, in Norwalk. She was the daughter of Samuel and 
Anne Seymour, and was one of twelve children. My first child was 
born on the 25th of November, 1797, and the second in March, 1800. 

" In 1802 I left Connecticut with my family to come to this place. 
It was on the 1st of March. We came in sleighs, and were eight 
days making the journey. The snow was so deep that we were three 
days going the first thirty miles. It was nearly all woods here then. 
I bought a farm up the East brook and cleared up 200 acres. In 
180-i my first wife died, leaving three children. I married Ann Bene- 
dict, daughter of Deacon Ezra Benedict, in January, 1805, and in 
1807 sold my farm and bought the grist mill in East Brook. The 
next year I bought a farm four miles from here, on the 'Sopus turn- 
pike, where I lived until my second wife died, in 1850. Since then 
I have lived here, and had nothing but kindness from everybody. I 
hved seven years with my first wife, over fifty with my second and 
twenty-five with my daughter-in-law, and have yet to say that any 
of them have ever given me an unkind word. There's something re- 
markable for you to put down. I've had every mahgnant disease there 
ever was, I believe, and no man ever suffered 'from sickness more than 
I have. I've been scared to death once and drowned once, and I'm 
alive yet," he said in conclusion. 

" I have taken care of him for twenty-five years," said Mrs. St 
John, " and to this day he has not been the least trouble or annoy- 
ance. After his second wife died, in 1850, he came here and said 
he wanted to come and live with us, as he was lonesome at home. He 
hved four miles from here, on the Esopus turnpike, between here and 
Hancock. We told him to come if he wanted to, and the next day 
he did come and has been here ever since. He goes to bed winter and 
summer at eight o'clock. As soon as the clock begins to strike eight 
he commences to get out of his chair. We remove his coat and vest, 
and he takes off^ the rest of his clothes, and dresses himself in the 
morning, coming out of his room with his coat and vest over his arm 
hke a httle boy. He is often the first one up in the morning, and 
eats breakfast with the rest of us. We have to cut his food up on his 
plate, and he eats with a spoon. He lies down a spell in the forenoon, 
then after dinner generally sleeps an hour or two. It is something 
remarkable that he is in better health now than he was when young 
He always was sickly, but does not have one sick spell now where he 



176 St. John Genealogy 

used to have a dozen. When he was ninety-nine he was weighed, and 
then again when he was a hundred, and he had gained ten pounds. 
I don't remember how much he weighed. During all the civil war I 
read every word of war news, from the beginning to the close, to him. 
He took a great interest In the war, and would have no one else to 
read to lilm but me, although there were much better readers in the 
liouse than myself. After the war was over I read the paper to him 
until three years since, when his hearing became so bad that it was 
too great a task. He is anxious as ever to hear the news, but appre- 
ciates the difficulty of getting details to him and never asks for them. 
This is a peculiar household. We have living with us two of our 
grandchildren, who are orphans, and now young ladies. It has always 
seemed strange that they, in the very morning of their lives could 
content themselves here with tliree such old people as father, my 
husband, and myself."

ing after the British went through Redding Parish to Danbury, and 
told them that they would have a chance to show their courage."

Recollections of Mrs. Parnell Sidway ; 

Of events in the history of the family of 

Gamaliel St. John, (No. 263) 

and 

Margaret Kinsman Marsh, his wife. 

Written in the winter of 1876-7. 

My parents were from the towns of Norwalk and Kent, in the 
State of Connecticut. My father was from Norwalk and my mother 
from Kent. My mother, Margaret Kinsman Marsh, was the daughter 



198 St. John Genealogy 

of Cyrus Marsh, who was the first Presbyterian clergyman settled in 
the township of Kent, in the State of Connecticut, according to the 
annals of that state, and he was also one of the five young gentlemen 
who constituted the first class on whom Yale College conferred its 
degree, as may be seen by reference to the catalogue of the Alumni 
of that institution. 

After Cyrus Marsh graduated, he was ordained a minister in 
May, 1741, and sent as a missionary to the then new, if not frontier 
town of Kent, to preach, not only to the people of that town, but to 
a tribe of Indians known as the Scatacookse, living on a branch of the 
Housatonic, of the same name. 

Gamaliel St. John was born September 22, 1766 — died June 6th, 
1813. My mother was born in Wilton, Connecticut, July 15th, 1768, 
died April 27th. 18-t7. They were married in Kent, October 16, 1788, 
and took up their residence in a house built by them in the village of 
Danbury, Connecticut, where they lived for several years, and until 
they had born to them five children, viz: Elijah Northrop, Maria, 
Aurelia, Cyrus Marsh and Sarah. , 

Partaking of the spirit of " Emigrating to the West,'' they 
moved to the town of Westmoreland, Oneida County, N. Y., where 
was born their daughter Margaret. During their residence in Oneida 
County, my father entered into contract with the proper persons 
for the construction of a portion of the Turnpike from Albany to 
Cayuga Lake. His contract called for the necessary work to be 
done on a section of seven or eight miles between the Cayuga and 
Owasco Lakes. The construction of that work necessitated tlie 
removal to Cayuga County. During their stay in Cayuga, there 
were born unto them three children, Parnell, Martha and John 
Ransom. After living in Cayuga County six or seven years, and 
finishing the section of the road according to contract and to the 
satisfaction and acceptance of the other party, my father removed with 
his family, in the year 1807, to a farm in Williamsville, (Niagara) 
now Erie County — on which farm is yet to be seen the large spring 
that constitutes the source of the " Mill Creek," at the village of 
Williamsville, and which is one of the tributaries of the Tonavvanda 
Creek. But he did not move his family until he had made, the pre- 
vious spring, a tour of observation, that extended all along the Ni- 
agara frontier. The farm thus selected, was then the property of 
Mr. Andrew Ellicott, a brother of Joseph Ellicott. 

He had letters from Joseph Ellicott to Jonas Williams of Wil- 
liamsville. As there is some discrepancy of opinion as to whether 
Mr. Joseph Ellicott did or did not accompany him to Williamsville, 
either on the occasion of his first or second visit, it is thought most 
probable by those of the family now living, that at one or the other 
of the times, Mr. Joseph Ellicott gave him the letters to Mr. Williams 
and that Mr. Andrew Ellicott did accompany him to Williamsville. 



Sixth Generation 199 

While living at Williamsville, there transpired the usual new coun- 
try events traditional in the family, of wild cats and wolves among the 
flocks, and the hunting of them by the men and boys of the family — 
of going to mill at Batavia or Niagara Falls there being none other 
than a sawmill at Williamsville, built during the summer of 1807 — 
the frame of which was put up by volunteer labor of the people, so 
desirous were they of having some way of getting lumber. The saw- 
mill was put up on Mr. Williams' land, and the necessary gearing and 
iron work was furnished by Mr. Joseph Elhcott. After residing 
three years on the farm at Williamsville, during which time was born 
Le Grand Cannon St. John, father sold his farm to a man by the name 
of Frink, reserving the privilege of cutting and hauling away logs for 
his own benefit. 

The family moved to Buffalo in the spring of 1810, having pre- 
viously bought of Mrs. Chapman, a claim for Lot No. 53 (Holland 
Land Co. Survey) on which was the frame for a house, 40 feet square, 
standing on blocks, and back of which was an appendix of 20 feet 
square, one and a half stories high, enclosed and floored, having a 
chimney with the old-fashioned fire-place and bakingoven, by the side 
of the fire-place. Lot No. 53 is directly opposite the " Tiff^t House," 
on the site of Old Phoenix Hotel. 

Into this apology of a house the family, then consisting of the 
parents and ten children, moved on or about the 10th day of May, 
1810. On the 28th day of May, 1810, in the chamber of the above 
mentioned appendix, was born the eleventh child: Orson Swift St. 
John. 

The price paid the above mentioned Mrs. Chapman for Lot No. 
53. and appurtenances was four thousand dollars, and two hundred 
dollars paid to Mr. Ellicott procured the deed. 

Mrs. Chapman, before her marriage to Mr. Chapman, was the widow 
Hull, and the issue of the marriage with Mr. Hull, was Mr. William 
Hull, the father of the present Mrs. O. G. Steele, and her deceased 
brother, who received the name of her father, William, and died at 
New Orleans, while in discharge of his duties as an oflScer in the 
United States Navy. 

When young, my father was apprenticed for seven years, from 
the age of fourteen until twenty-one years of age. That being the 
custom of the times, and taken from the English custom, and I think 
prevails with that nation at the present time. The business to which 
he was apprenticed was that of manufacturing implements of agri- 
culture and tools used by various mechanics, such as plows, harrows, 
scythes, planes, chisels, augurs, their woodings, etc., etc., in time he 
became skilled in the use of the tools of the carpenter and black-smith. 

This experience, which goes so far to make up the Yankee, was, 
in a new country, of the utmost value to him as a contractor on the 
Turnpike, as a farmer, and finally as a builder. 



200 St. John Genealogy 

When he went to get his deed from Mr. ElHcott, he presented the 
contract purchased of Mrs. Chapman, which was accepted as satisfac- 
tory and the deed given. At that time, while in general conversation, 
Mr. Ellicott made a solicitous request that he should undertake the 
iron work of the then contemplated jail, to be built at Buffalo. Mr. 
Ellicott wanted someone to engage in the work who was not only 
capable, but responsible. Father said he could do all the work ex- 
cepting the making of the locks. When Mr. Ellicott proposed to send 
to Philadelphia for skilled work-men for that special purpose, a con- 
tract was made between them — the Philadelphia experts sent for — 
and the work under the supervision and personal labor of my father 
was urged forward. At the same time, the work of the jail was going 
on, the work of finishing the house bought of Mrs. Chapman was 
progressing. There was also at that time in process of construc- 
tion, the first Court House, a frame building, being built by Oziel 
Smith, under contract with the same parties who were on the part of 
the public directing the building of the jail — the chief actor among 
whom, was Mr. Joseph Ellicott. It may be said that Mr. Ellicott's 
advice and influence in all these matters, was the next thing to law. 

The lumber for the covering and finishing of the house purchased 
of Mrs. Chapman, was all drawn from Williamsville ; the logs for 
which had been cut and drawn to the previously mentioned saw-mill, 
during the winter previous, or of 1809-1810. 

The shingles for the house were all made during the same winter, 
by my father and his boys, Elijah and Cyrus. Much of this material 
was drawn in the winter, before moving to Buffalo, and the remainder, 
afterwards, as it could be obtained from the mill. The cellar was 
made equal to the dimensions of the house, and the stone composing 
the walls was drawn from the quarries of Judge Erastus Granger, on 
the banks of the " Three Mile Creek," East of the then village of 
Buffalo. That creek was known, where it emptied into the Niagara 
River, below the then ferry at the foot of Niagara Street, as the 
" Ska-ja-qua-da," commonly pronounced " Cou-jack-a-da." 

The road then, was in the usual condition of most, if not all 
roads, through a new and timbered, country — there being very little 
done, except to cut the timber out sufficiently for the passage of teams, 
and the making of causeways over the low and very wet grounds. 
The road from the " Three Mile Creek," was at first called four 
miles, and was throughout the entire distance from the Creek to the 
" Cold Springs," covered with a log causeway. The road from what 
was afterwards Walden's Hill to Chippewa Street, and to North 
Church, (Dr. Johnson's lot) was covered with a log causeway. 

Between Chippewa Street and where the North Church now 
stands, was a log bridge over a ravine and low grounds, which extended, 
nearly, if not the entire distance. Along this ravine, ran a small stream 



Sixth Generation 201 

heading on the East side of Main Street, in the rear of what was after- 
wards the lot and hat factory of Henry (?) Campbell. 

The forest timber stood in its native condition on either side of the 
road, with exceptional little patches of clearing of a few square 
rods at long intervals, as far down as to Tupper Street, and from 
thence the woods were cleared away in spots, and more or less work done 
as people " took up their lots," and were in need of timber, fire wood, 
and a garden spot, to a spot as low down in the Main Street, as to 
where the First Church stands. There was the first considerable clear- 
ing. That cleared ground did not have the appearance of having been 
cleared for any particular purpose, or according to any previous 
design, but seemed from appearances, there being no stumps, but some 
second growth of small brush, to have been a camping and council 
ground of the Indians, and was then, in 1810, the locality where they 
received their annuities from the Government, at the hands of the 
Indian Agent, Mr. Granger. 

From Gillett's Hill, (The Terrace), to the Buffalo Creek, Main 
Street was causeway, and the bridge over the Little Buffalo Creek was 
made of logs, with a pier in the centre of the stream, and logs across 
the stringers. 

The road to and from the Indian Village was down Main Street 
to the " Big Buffalo " Creek, and along the bank of the creek, passing 
Pratt Ferry, up to Seneca Village. 

The best road to Black Rock, was down from Gillett'si Hill, (Ter- 
race) along the West bank of the " Little Buffalo " Creek, (Commer- 
cial Street) to the " Big Buffalo " Creek, thence along the " Big 
Buffalo " Creek to the lake ; crossing a small stream ten feet wide, 
and two and a half feet deep, and going around a small bay before 
getting to the beach of the lake — thence down and along the beach of 
the lake to " Sandy Town," thence, keeping close to the water, turned 
around close to the " Black Rock," just where the canal enters the 
" Black Rock " harbor ; thence down and close along the foot of the 
hill, where the rail-road now runs until the ferry was reached, a 
point at the foot of Niagara Street. 

There was a longer and less inviting way by what was commonly 
called the " Guide Board Road," now North Street. Niagara Street 
had been marked and some work done. 

The house of my father, and of which we have been speaking, 
was finished in the fall and winter of 1810, with the pressing purpose 
in view of holding therein the Ncxc Year Ball of the coming First of 
January, 1811. That ball was held in the room intended for such 
pur{)oses, and was attended by parties from a distance, embracing the 
whole " Frontier." The population was so sparse that they must nec- 
essaril^f come from considerable distances, to make up in numbers a 
respectable party. The political party-strife which brought on the 



202 St. John Genealogy 

War of 1812, and the consequent personal animosities between the 
Democrats and Federalists, ran so high at that date, as very unmis- 
takably to show itself in the calling together of that dancing party. 
There were a few Democrats present, but the principal numl)er of 
the party were Federalists. ]\Iy father was a JefFersonian Democrat, 
and a zealous supporter of all the measures that tended to the declara- 
tion and prosecution of the war. 

During the summer of 1811, nothing of particular moment took 
place in the then village of Buffalo, beyond the councils held by and 
between the Ogdens with their interpreters. Parish and Jones on the 
one part, and the Seneca Indians and their chiefs, assisted by Mr. 
Granger on the other part. The part which Mr. Granger acted was 
prompted and perhaps required by the U. S. Government, as its agent 
for that tribe. The Chief, Red Jacket, was present at this and all 
future councils and successfully opposed all overtures made for the 
purchase of any portion of the lands which were held by the Indians, 
under reservation and guarantee from the general government. His 
councils prevailed with his tribe so long as he lived, but, not many 
years after his demise, they were forgotten or over-ruled. General 
Peter B. Porter had at first the exclusive right of purchase from the 
Indians, which right he sold to Ogden — and time has proven the wisdom 
of the Indian sale and removal, both for themselves and the city of 
Buffalo. During the summer of 1811, political animosities and party 
strife ran insanely zealous ; extending its bitter virus into individual 
business and social intercourse; families were estranged from each 
other, indulging in the severest reflections, which were not believed by 
either party, and this very unprofitable spirit of crimination and re- 
crimination pervaded the wliole body politic, to the extent that their 
children in school took sides, and like their parents, were not particular 
as to the injustice of their invectives. 

My father had, and still has, the reputation among those who 
remember him, of being careful and deliberate of speech ; his counsels 
to his family were, " Be careful and think twice before you speak." 
My mother was of more irascible temperament. She was just, gener- 
ous to the extent of her means, and in all great and dark trials, was 
first timid, then firm, deliberate, calm and hopeful, relying upon her 
Heavenly Father to guide her out of impending difficulties. Yet in 
ordinary matters, she was impetous, irritable, impatient of opposition, 
self-reliant, positive in her counsels, and imperative in her commands. 
In all matters, after the situation was comprehended, she was, as we 
shall hereafter see, as far as it is possible for any woman to be, 
equal to her task. 

In the spring of 1810, just before the family moved to Buffalo, 
my brother Elijah left Williamsville, went to Erie, was in the service 
of the older Mr. Seth Reed, returned after an absence of three months, 
and not being yet of age, until August, he handed over to his father, the 



Sixth Generation 203 

net earnings of his time up to the date of his majority. Such was 
the generally conceded and lawful duty of all minors, as held by all 
people at that time. 

Father took the money, but more from prudential motives than 
sclfisli, as he was not of an acquisitive disposition. 

During the following winter (1810-1811) my brothers, Elijah 
and Cyrus, were sent to Albany with father's teams to " bring on " 
goods "for both Hart and Grosvenor. That trip led to the conception 
of the thought of making a business of that sort of enterprise, which 
he afterward attempted to carry out. 

In the spring of 1811, Elijah bought a stock of goods from Eli 
Hart, for which father became responsible, and for which he after- 
ward paid. With this outfit my brother traveled and traded all along 
the South shore of Lake Erie as far West as the river Rasin — 
exchanging his goods with the Indians and French half-breeds for 
furs, white fish, and whatever else that promised to be available on 
his return. He returned late in the next fall or early winter — made with 
my brother Cyrus, another trip to Albany, during the winter of 1811- 
12 and in the spring of 1812, started with another stock of goods 
bought of Abel M. Grosvenor, Sr., in a schooner, (name not known) 
commanded by Captain Chapin, and bound for Detroit. While the 
vessel was heading toward Maiden, on her way to the mouth of the 
Detroit River, and near the entrance, was captured with all on board, 
by the Queen Charlotte, which had been hastily fitted out by the 
Canadians for such war purposes. The men who were taken were kept in 
prison for three months and then set at liberty on the Niagara Frontier. 
Nothing was heard from my brother from the time that he started from 
Buffalo, except that the vessel was taken at Maiden, until he entered 
the door of the homestead on his return. Everything was taken from 
him except the summer suit which he wore — not even a pocket knife 
was left to him. 

When my brother left, the news of the declaration of war with 
England. June 17th, 1812, had not reached the people of Buffalo, but 
by some unknown means or route, that fact had come to the knowl- 
edge of the Canadians sooner than it did to the people of this side 
of the river, and the Canadians taking advantage of their earher 
intelligence made prisoners of all our people who were on their side 
of the line (see Howe, page 5). 

Late in the spring of 1811, after having made the special trip 
first mentioned above, for the purpose of " bringing on goods " for 
Messrs. Hart and Grosvenor, my father drank in the idea of becoming 
a common carrier, as a business, and with that view entered into 
contracts with several of the merchants of Buffalo, for the transporta- 
tion of their goods from Albany or LTtica, as the season permitted — 
going to Albany in the winter, and only to Utica in the summer, as 
goods were then brought by open bateaux poled up the Mohawk 



204 St. John Genealogy 

River, to that place. He began that enterprise with two teams ; one 
of three horses, before what was then called a Pennsylvania wagon, and 
one of two horses before a common wagon. Not long after he added 
the third team of two horses, making in all that season, seven horses 
and three wagons. This was the beginning of through transporta- 
tion by regular line from Albany to Buffalo. 

The last trip made to Albany with three teams, was under the 
guidance of my two brothers. Elijah and Cyrus, in the winter of 
1811-12. Within a year from the time that this enterprise was in- 
augurated, it went out of his hands, and in consequence of the war 
measures, that business, under other management, took on such enor- 
mous proportions, that there were necessarily established extensive lines 
of transportation, involving the use of much more capital than he 
had at command. The teams which made up those future lines, had in 
number, as many, in most instances, as six to ten horses to one wagon, 
with a tire six or more inches wide. The reasons for these wide tires 
were, that as they were too wide for the ruts of the ordinary wagon, 
their tendency was to level the turn-pike, without cutting deep, and 
therefore were allowed to pass free of toll — an item not to be overlooked 
in their economy. That mode of common carrying, in time, assumed 
national importance, increasing with the settlement of the West, bring- 
ing and carrying between the East and West, until it became beyond 
a doubt, the evolving fact in the commerce of the state, which led to the 
conception and construction of the New York and Erie Canal. 

Previous, and up to the time that my father's family came to 
Buffalo, the mails were carried, principally, on horse-back, they were 
sent and brought twice or three times each week, and their arrival 
was announced by the mail-carrier's horn. 

During the summer of 1812 nothing, or very little was done 
by the United States Government in the way of prosecuting the war 
on this frontier, evidently knowing too little about its needs and con- 
dition, and expecting the principal strife to be carried on upon the 
ocean or somewhere else than this locality. The Canadians, however, 
being more active, were too long in provoking a recognition of this 
as the considerable field of their warfare. Yet nothing was done be- 
yond the general trainings ordered by the State of New York, in 
August or September, and a draft of militia for defensive purposes. 

The battery (at first of one gun.) near the place called Fort 
Adams, was put in place at or near Black Rock Ferry, now foot 
of Niagara Street, and from there an irregular cannonading went on 
with the Canadian side, (now Waterloo) for the space of six weeks. 
Among the events which took place during that battery practice, 
was the circumstance, among other and various trials of skill of the 
late venerable Dr. Josiah Trowbridge, then an enterprising young 
man, so sighting his gun. as at the second discharge, to knock the 
ram-rod hand spike from a Canadian gunner's hands, and for a brief 



Sixth Generation 205 

space of time, dispersed their gunners and quieted their gun. Not 
long after the query came across the river, as to who handled our gun 
on that day. The circumstance of my brother Cyrus digging from 
the bank just under or below our battery, a cannon ball fired by the 
Canadian battery has been set forth in a paper by the late Henry 
Lovejoy, who helped my brother bring it home. 

It was, I think, an eighteen pound shot; slung with a handker- 
chief on a pole, and with one end of the stick on the shoulder of each, 
the boys brought it into town. After many years it disappeared in 
the first furnace, which was in Reese's blacksmith shop. Of the regi- 
ment formed in Buffalo and vicinity, Dr. Cyrenius Chapin was made 
Colonel — the father of the late William Miller was Major — William 
Hull, a Captain, (Asaph) Atking a Lieutenant, and many of the 
active young men were called upon to fill the non-commissioned offices. 
Records of which can be found that are more definite than any indi- 
vidual memory can be. (Doubtful) They were probably not commis- 
sioned. 

Politics ran high in spirit, and personal animosities were fearful. 
The social and communal frenzy was beyond description, all giving 
advice, and no one taking it, no concentration, no head, no eff'ective 
purpose. All were bad people but they who were criticising. If 
people attended to their own interests and were prosperous, they 
were enviously denounced, and the source of their prosperity ques- 
tioned. The opinions of the envious persons, were, as usual, of no 
permanent value, except to tear down themselves and build up the 
envied. On the third day of October, 1812, my sister, Aurelia St. 
John, was married to Asaph Stebbins Bemis, by Judge Oliver For- 
ward. On the ninth day of November following, my brother Cyrus 
Marsh St. John, after returning from a hunting expedition with 
Elijah, through the inclemency of the weather and the swampy nature 
of the country, contracted the disease then epidemic, commonly called 
the " camp distemper," and died after six days' sickness. That dis- 
ease was evidently, from its description, inflammation of the Larynx 
and Bronchia; in some instances involving the Tonsils, and in many 
respects answering in ^symptoms to the disease known now as " Dyph- 
theria." Soon after this event, on returning home from the funeral, 
father was taken down with the same disease, but in consequence of 
the persistent eff^orts of Mr. Lecouteaulx, who was by profession a 
druggist, with his French apparatus for steaming the throat with 
herb teas, it is believed by the family, the disease was overcome. The 
apparatus above mentioned, was a small pot with a long flexible tube, 
on the end of which was an ivory mouth-piece. The ivory end w^as in- 
serted back into the fauces as far as possible, and respiration, at least 
the inhalation, was conducted through it. That brought on an ac- 
tive secretion and suppuration, and with it rehef. Dr. Ebenezer John- 
son, the attending physician, thought this case one of Quinzy or 



206 St. John Genealogy 

" Laryngitis " and " Tonsilitis." Other members of the family were 
sick with the same disease, with various symptoms and degrees of 
violence, but in time all recovered. During the sickness of the family, 
or soon after that date, my sister Aurelia Bemis, and husband, rented 
the back room of Mr. Forward's house, at the solicitation of Mr. and 
Mrs. Forward, as they said " to keep soldiers from quartering there." 
The building had two rooms on the first floor and a chamber — Mr. 
and Mrs. Forward occupying the front room — Mr. and Mrs. Bemis 
the back room ; the chamber being used as the post office. The dimen- 
sions of that building cannot now be defined. 

The street door of the building opened into the room occupied by 
Mr. and Mrs. Forward, there being no hall. The entrance to the 
back room was by a side door — and the way to the post office was by a 
flight of steps up and across the front of the building. 

After the six weeks' cannonading between Fort Adams and the 
Canadian side of the Niagara River, and while General Smyth, with 
the forces under him, were lying here, the naval officers came, say in 
November 1812. Being young and ambitious, restless, anxious for 
active service, they solicited from the officer in command the privilege 
of attempting to spike the British guns. General Smyth gave the 
order, the attack was made, the cannon spiked, the return a success, 
but with what casualties to our men, if any, is not recollected. In 
the latter part of the winter. General Smyth was relieved by Colonel 
Preston — all of which is, or should be, a matter of record. 

The next event of any moment during the winter of 1812-13, was 
the military ball held in the house of Mrs. Joseph Landon, given by 
the officers stationed in this vicinity, in honor of Governor Lewis on 
the occasion of his visit to Buff^alo. Of course Governor Lewis was a 
Democrat, then called Republicans, the opposite party were called 
Federalists. He had been elected as a Jeff'ersonian War Democrat. 
]\Iy father being an ultra-Democrat, very readily affiliated with him, 
and was present at the ball, though not yet in the best of health, ac- 
companied by my sisters, Maria and Sarah. The Governor danced 
but once that evening, and that with my sister, Maria St. John, as 
partner. 

In the spring of 1813, the schooners John Adams and Niagara, 
(Caledonia) were " cut out " from the Canadian shore by a private 
party, but cannot say who, without any particular order or com- 
mand, and were brought back to this side of the river, and moored 
or anchored in the stream, just a})ove Squaw Island. These two ves- 
sels were lying there, say May, 1813. The Adams certainly in June, 
DuriniT the winter all the naval stores had been moved to Erie as a 
better base of naval operations. 

During the spring of 1813, Colonel Preston made his preparations 
for attacking Fort Erie. By that time my father's health was so far 
recovered that he was able to ride down to Black Rock nearly every 



Sixth Generation 207 

day ; and it was understood by the family that he was in general con- 
sultation respecting the feasibility of measures to be taken, by and with 
Colonel Preston. 

The Democrats being in the minority in the township of Buffalo, 
were the subjects of a vast deal of uncharitable vituperation, but were 
ntme the less a unit in all that pertained to war measures. General 
Smyth was a Federalist ; Colonel Preston a Democrat, and as such, 
inspired his party friends with a hope that something would be done, 
worthy of the country. When everything was in readiness, the army 
was ordered to cross the river. 

Previous to the order being given to cross, there was an under- 
standing between Colonel Preston and Colonel Christy, stationed at 
I^ort Niagara, that on a given day, in the morning early enough to be 
on the Canadian side by day-light, there should be a simultaneous 
movement on Fort Erie and Fort George; and it was further arranged, 
that in tlic event of either army succeeding, a messenger should at once 
be dispatched to the other. As Colonel Preston's army was to cross 
below Fort Erie, and that under Colonel Christy was to cross, I think, 
above Fort George, while forces from the fleet were landing below, the 
messengers were expected to reach their destination without much 
difficulty, particularly as they were to be prepared with the proper 
means of signs by which they should know each other, and be recog- 
nized as proper and reliable persons by the officers in command. About 
the landing of our troops or crossing at Fort George, I am not positive. 

On the morning of the crossing of the armies. May 27th, 1813, 
my father took an early breakfast and left home for the scene of 
action at Black Rock, saying to the family, that he would go down 
and see how Colonel Preston had succeeded in crossing- — and that 
he would be back in due season, evidently intending to quiet my mother's 
anxieties about his health being such as to warrant his crossing the 
river. As he did not return, as was expected, a messenger was sent 
to inquire and learn of his whereabouts — who on returning, informed 
the family that his horse was in the stable at Black Rock, and himself was 
seen on one of the last boats going over the river. He went directly 
up to Fort Eric, as he afterwards narrated, which had by that 
time been possessed by the forces under Colonel Preston, who was 
looking anxiously for someone acquainted with the country, to be a 
bearer of dispatches to Colonel Christy. My father volunteered to go. 

As a prudential measure he was dressed in a British Sergeant's 
imiform, and carried as a provision against emergencies, a flag of 
truce. His acquaintance with the people on the Canadian side, many 
of whom were friendly to the United States, enabled him to know 
where, and to whom to apply for fresh horse and food, which he was 
supplied with, at the distance of about twelve miles below Fort Erie. 
He rode the distance as soon as proper prudence would permit, and 
reached Fort George late in the afternoon, at about the same time, 



208 St. John Genealogy 

or very soon after our troops took possession of it; which they 
were enabled to do after much harder fighting than at Fort Erie. 

As he entered Fort George, Colonel Christy was casting about 
for someone to be the bearer of dispatches to Colonel Preston. 

The dispatches borne by him from Colonel Preston gave to Col- 
onel Christy the desired information respecting the situation of af- 
fairs at Fort Erie. After taking his supper, (a soldier's supper) 
he was mounted on a fresh horse, and started back as bearer of dis- 
patches from Colonel Preston, in Fort Erie. He accomplished his 
task that night, having made a journey, not without peril, of nearly 
seventy-nine miles in less than twenty-four hours. At his time of 
life, and his health considered, that effort was one of great fatigue. 
He rested and slept a part of the second day. When he arose from his 
sleep. Colonel Preston met him, saluted him and thanked him for his 
services, and tendered him a certificate setting forth that his services 
were of great value, and worthy of consideration and reward by the 
Government — at the same time, intimating that he would reward him 
in any other way that he would name. Father's answer was, that he 
was serving his country, and as he had previously pledged his services 
to the country in various ways, he was too well paid by the happiness 
which he experienced, as he rejoiced in the success of the day. His first 
impulse was that he did not think the certificate necessary — but as 
Colonel Preston insisted on his taking it, saying that he (Father) could 
not say when or where it might or might not, be of service to him, he 
did take it, and witnesses are living who read it. When the village 
was burned it was destroyed by the Indians, together with all of his 
valuable papers. Colonel Preston suggested to him that he would do 
well to take from the spoils some memorial of the events of the day. 
On looking about among the effects of the British officers, there were 
found many elegant things, particularly in the line of clothing. It 
was finally decided that he should take an undress suit of exquisite 
material, which by trial was found to fit him. That suit was after- 
wards much admired and coveted by many of the young American 
officers. The family knew nothing of his doings, from the time that he 
was seen on the boat crossing the river, until his return. Not long 
after his return, say three or four days. Colonel Preston sent a spe- 
cial messenger, requesting him to come over to Fort Erie, as he 
(Colonel Preston) wished to see him. On going over to Fort Erie he 
learned that Colonel Preston wanted to know where the ferry boats 
were. 

After much counselling as to the ways and means by which the 
military supplies for the army could be got across the river, he was 
requested by Colonel Preston to go and hunt up the ferry boat and 
see that it was made available for that purpose. He engaged to 
do so. On coming back to this side of the river, he found that a Mr. 
Dean had some special grants from the state authorities, giving him. 



Sixth Generation 209 

control over the ferry, but that in consequence of the war, he had for 
a time, at least, abandoned his rights, and had taken his boat down to 
Ska-ja-quc-da Creek, and sunk it. Father went down to " Conjoc- 
kada " Creek, calling on Mr. Benjamin Bidwell, a young man then 
living near that creek, and engaged him as a ship carpenter to help 
repair the boat in the event of its being found. It was found deep 
in the mud and seriously broken, but the bottom, on examination, was 
found to be sound. It was pried up and with much difficulty got 
in shape to be repaired. Mr. Bidwell was the chief worker in mak- 
ing the necessary repairs, in which he was more or less assisted in 
various ways by others, among whom was my brother Elijah. In 
the meantime, Colonel Preston was urging that the work be expedited, 
and that father should take charge of it when done. That he refused 
to do, beyond getting the boat ready and sending it over to the Ca- 
nadian shore. In the mean time he had talked with brother Elijah, 
advising him to take charge of the boat. In preference to his going 
on another trading expedition up the lake, as he was desirous of doing. 

Bv dint of severe effort, the boat was, by Saturday night of 
June 5th. 1813. thought to be fit for service, and the next day, Sun- 
day, June 6th, everything as far as it could be was in readiness for 
delivery. Elijah remained down where the boat was, but father re- 
turned home Saturday evening — ^he left again very early Sunday 
morning. After making a call for volunteers to help take the boat 
over, and getting his men together, they were by nine o'clock A. M., 
under motion. There were in all nine persons on board. Of the num- 
ber of men so engaged, there were five soldiers, wishing and waiting 
to go over — a INIr. George Lester, a tanner by trade, from Cold 
Spring, who had a horse with him — and a young lad from up in the 
country, who afterwards proved to be Mr. Lester Brace, who had asked 
as a privilege to go over in the boat — Mr. Brace was born July 1790, 
and at that time twenty-three years old in July following — my brother 
Elijah, twenty-six years old, acting as steersman, and father, forty- 
seven years old, directing the whole. The boat was headed up the 
stream until they had reach a point where, as Elijah thought, they were 
high enough to pass the cable of the Schooner John Adams, then, 
as before mentioned, lying there at anchor. Elijah repeatedly sug- 
gested that they were high enough up, but father, more cautious, ad- 
vised going still farther up the stream, until they should reach a 
less doubtful point. They went farther up. 

When they did strike to cross the river, they soon found that 
by reason of the inexperience of the men, of their want of skill in 
handling the boat in a rapid current, of which they had little or no 
knowledge, they were making no encouraging progress toward Canada 
but were floating directly down upon the cable of the John Adams, which 
had been their special reason for caution. In spite of their efforts to 
avoid it, the struck the dreaded cable, up which the scow made a 



210 St. John Genealogy 

rapid slide, turning completely over, and bottom side up floated away 
down the river. In an instant all were in the water. The sailors on 
board the schooner threw ropes to those who were within their reach, 
and drew them on board, the citizens, as soon as possible, started out 
in row boats to their rescue, but they passed by Elijah, who was so 
close to the shore that they thought he would be able to save himself. 
Why he did not reach shore was a matter of much speculation in opinion 
afterwards, as he was known to be a good swimmer. There was a 
mark on his forehead, indicative of some injury, proliably received 
when the scow capsized, causing him to become faint, or otherwise 
exhausted, if not unconscious. They succeeded in saving the soldiers 
and two citizens. The soldiers' names are not known : but the two citi- 
zens were Mr. George Lester, of Cold Springs, and JNIr. Lester Brace. 
There were three soldiers, names not known, who were drowned, their 
l)odies being afterward picked up below the Falls, and two citizens. 
The citizens were my father and my brother Elijah. 

The horse of Mr. George Lester, of Cold Springs, swam to the 
sore and was recovered. In two or three days, or as soon as Mr. 
George Lester could find himself sufficiently recovered to call on our 
family, he came into town from Cold Springs, and gave us the details 
of what took place in the boat and while in the water. While in the 
water my father and Mr. George Lester were assisted by the buoyancy 
of a rail which they had the joint possession of, and which they hoped 
would be the means of keeping themselves above water, until help could 
reach them ; but tliey soon realized that it was not sufficient for the 
two, and that one or the other must relinquish it. They discussed the 
chances of being saved, and on Mr. George Lester saying that he 
could not swim father let go of the rail and he was lost. The body 
of Elijah was found on the ninth day after the accident, or on the 
15th of June, 1813, close in to the shore, among some bushes, not 
far below where he was last seen swimming, and was brought to Buf- 
falo by Asaph S. Bemis. The body of my father was found on the 
fifteenth day after the accident, on the 21st of June, 1813, as low 
down the river as half way to Tonawanda. 

It was discovered by Mr. E. D. Efner, and his partner, Mr. 
Sackett. Those gentlemen had the body secured, through the help 
of someone living on the bank of the river, and then returned to 
Buffalo, giving up their mission to Tonawanda, where they were going 
on business. On their informing the family of the facts, Mr. Asaph 
S. Bemis went down to the place where the body was secured, and 
brought it to Buffalo. 

Those events threw the family into the deepest gloom and 
despondency. The future before our mother and the older members of 
the family can be better imagined than described. The chapter of 
their misfortunes was not 3'^et ended, and their salvation from wreck 
was fortitude. 



Sixth Generation 211 

The family remaining was composed of our mother and nine 
cliildren, six daughters and three sons; the respective ages of the 
three sons were eight (8), six (6) and three (S) years. 

Our family were in the large house, and the sign had previously 
heen taken down. It was now evident that they could not conduct the 
house as a public house, and therefore arrangements were soon after 
made to lease it to Mr. Mosely Abel; afterwards a resident of 
Fredonia. 

Our mother administered upon the estate of Gamaliel St. John 
deceased, sold personal property, paid debts, struggling on in an 
unsystematic way generally, and at great disadvantage. 

' Immediately after the lease was made with Mr. Abell, she went 
out to Clarence, where Mr. Otis R. Hopkins hved, and bargained for 
the house and lot (54) adjoining on the North side of the old home- 
stead, or large house, so rented to Mr. Abell, and the family moved 
into that house, so purchased from Mr. Hopkins, where they lived when 
the village was burned. 

Colonel Preston's stay at Fort Erie was of short duration. In 
less than one month, he, with his command, was ordered to another 
field, where the demand was made urgent, there being no promise of 
any further or immediate necessity for troops in this vicinity. The 
removal of the forces under Colonel Preston to a point somewhere on 
the frontier East of this, left Buffalo and its vicinity unprotected, 
except by the militia. The people were in a feverish state of excite- 
ment — everything was in an unsettled and unstable condition — the 
timid, uncertain of their position, were devising plans of safety for 
their families, moving and countermoving, and at last, doing that 
which as often as otherwise, proved to be unsafe, and void of good 
judgment. 

In the midst of this state of things, our mother, like all true 
mothers, was ready to jeopardize her life for the future interests of 
her family. 

The large house, as before stated, had been rented, and the first 
quarter of the year's rent had been paid in advance. With this small 
capital the family took possession of the new purchase. It was a 
small, one and a half story building, unfinished, being only inclosed, 
or the frame covered, and the floors laid, but standing on the walls of 
a good cellar. In dimensions on the ground it was 22 ft. on the front, 
running not more than 20 or 22 ft. back, possibly 22 ft. square. It 
stood quite by itself, on the West side of Main St., in an open space, 
without fence or shrub about it, and back from the line of the street 
25 ft. 

Into that unfinished building the family stowed themselves away 
as best they could, with a work-bench on the lower floor, and the joiners 
working with all due diligence to get it in shape for their greater com- 
fort. When finished the house was constructed with a four-paneled. 



212 St. John Genealogy 

streef door, in the centre of the front of the building, with a fifteen 
(15) hght window of 7 x 9 glass, in line with the two below. A 
chimney and fire place stood at the centre of the West end of the 
building, in line with, and facing the street door. The street door 
opened without any hall or porch directly into the main room. On the 
right, as one entered from the street, was a bed room in the North- 
east corner, half the length of the house, say 7 x 10 ft. further on and 
adjoining this room, and to the right of the chimney, in the North- 
west corner of the building was a room of the same size, used as a 
stairway to get into the chamber, and as a passage-way out of the 
back door, and in which a scant place was appropriated for a small 
bed. On the left of the chimney in the South-west corner, was a cup- 
board for dishes and what was requisite for the table and cooking. The 
chamber was divided into two rooms ; the smaller bed-room, being on 
the South side and running the whole length of the house, say 7 x 20 
or 22 ft., with a window 12 lights, 7x9 glass in the West end; 
there was also a window 12 lights 7 x 9 at the head of the stairs, in 
the West end of the main room and on the North side of the chimney. 
The eaves-troughs were worked out of a white wood or cucumber tree, 
and each was of one solid piece. 

With this state of things prevailing in the town, the people were 
suddenly called upon (Oct. 13, 1813) to give quarters to the troops 
drafted or called from tlie militia to defend the frontier. (See How, 
page 8, right hand column.) In the summer or fall of 1813, some 
of our people of Buffalo, not properly organized or connected with 
the army or Government, went over to Canada under the guidance of 
Colonel Chapin, and were engaged in a work and various enterprises, 
with which I am not conversant as to character, but about which there 
were many severe criticisms and caustic remarks. While they were 
over there, they were made prisoners, and soon after, the much vaunted 
and heralded retaking of themselves took place. (See How, page 9, 
at bottom.) 

The burning of Queenstown and Newark, was a measure that 
our mother, in common with others, boldly denounced as an exhibition 
of wantonness only fit for savages, and in all her conversations, ac- 
cused the perpetrators of that act, of exhibiting a bravado that only 
belonged to cowardice and motives as mercenary as the cow-boys of 
the Revolution. She was wont to quote the Biblical maxim, " What you 
sow. that shall you reap." They sowed the wind, and in due time we 
reaped the whirlwind. (See How, page 8, Right hand.) 

The people of Buffalo were kept in a state of unrest by the nightly 
firing of cannon and other alarms, to keep the people vigilant, and to 
let the enemy, if any in hearing, know that our defenders were around. 

This state of things went on, with various minor events until the 
morning of the 30th of December, 1813. 

The British had crossed the Niagara during the night before, and 



Sixth Generation 213 

tliat morning appeared in sight on Niagara Street. (Black Rock 
Road.) Tlie Canadian Indians were coming through the woods from 
Black Rock, scattered as far North as the " Guide Board Road," 
now North Street, and were driving and kiUing our scattered people, 
wherever they overtook them. Among the citizens killed were Mr. 
Roop, the father of the late Henry Roop (Harry Roop) and Sammy 
Helms. The stalwart Seth Grosvenor and his friends with the only 
gun at command, had stationed themselves at or near the junction of 
Main and Niagara Streets, and were doing such good service with it 
as the British were coming up Niagara Street, as to bring them to a 
halt. While they were so engaged, Colonel Cyrenius Chapin appeared 
with a flag of truce, and ordered the men to " cease firing." Grosvenor 
told him to " go about his views, if he liked, they intended to fire the 
cannon." Grosvenor and friends were so encouraged by their success, 
that their ambition and zeal got the better of their judgment, so far 
as to overload the gun, when it reacted with such violence as to become 
dismounted. 

Grosvenor started for help, to assist him in putting the cannon 
back on the carriage, and came to our house, with the hope of finding 
some one or more for that purpose. Not finding any one there stout- 
hearted as ho was, he could not suppress his tears as he said to my 
mother, " If I had help to put the cannon up again, I could drive the 
British back." 

In the mean time Chapin went forward with his flag of truce, 
and capitulated for the saving of many of the houses, his own included, 
from the torch of conflagration, while the rest were burned. Neither 
of our houses was mentioned in the capitulation, and the large house 
was fired that day, but the flames were extinguished by Sarah, (after- 
wards Mrs. Wilkinson), drawing water, and mother, Maria and the 
hired man, carrying and throwing it on the fire. The next day, (third) 
or before the British finally left, they burned it. The smaller house 
was neither included in the capitulation, nor fired. The people of 
the town had been fore-warned of the approach of the enemy and as 
a general thing had fled. 

The British and their Indians left on the 31st of December, but 
the Indians, under the immediate direction of Lieutenant Wm. Carr, 
(an imdor officer) a half-breed, returned the third day, and burned the 
largo house, as he said under peremptory orders. 

Here ends the narrative of Mrs. Sidway (Parnoll). I was called 
away to Ohio, and never found it convenient to have another inter- 
view with her upon the subject. 

In December, 1876, I wrote my sister, Martha St. John, now Mrs. 
Skinner, to sond me her recollections — and in due time I received from 
her the following letter, which I have copied for more facile reading. 
(I send — give — you the original), 

O. S. St. John.

THE LETTERS OF MRS. MARTHA ST. JOHN SKINNER. 

Clarance Place, Dorchester, 
Near Boston, Mass., Dec. 22. 1876. 
Dear Friends : — 

We have found the weather cold, and no disposition to write, till 
I fear it is late. 

Well, I will proceed to tell you about Buffalo. There were in 
Buffalo, just before the burning, from two to four thousand drafted 
and volunteer militia. They were encamped nearly in front of the 
old Court House, and when ordered to march to Black Rock, for 
the purpose of preventing the British from crossing, they went, I 
think, down Eagle Street (possibly Court). The house which mother 
bought from Otis R. Hopkins was only covered, but had the windows 
in. as it had been occupied by Mr. John Root, and his wife, (Christiana) 
and also by Alva Sharpe's daughter, Matilda, who was afterwards 
Mrs. Dickinson. When our family moved into that small house, which 
was 22 ft. front, and running back not more than that. To make it 
comfortable, as the winter was a very cold one, mother, assisted by 
the children, hung the inside of the house, next to the walls, with 
l)lankets and quilts. 

As I said, such a great number of troops had marched to Black 
Rock, (all the people felt safe,) Mrs. Pomeroy and her daughter 
Minerva, afterwards Mrs. Champlin, and ]\Irs. Abell, wife of Mosely 
Abell, and three children, were sitting up at our house, listening to 
hear the guns at Black Rock, supposing we were safe — when suddenly 
the alarm gun boomed up with an awful burst of thunder, which 
aroused everybody, and people were seen flying every way for safety. 
We were soon prepared for a start, and INIr. Bemis, whose house was 
opposite ours on the East side of Main Street being able with his 
wagon and horses, to carry his family and part of ours, we were all 
packed in, three girls and three boys, with beds, blankets and clothing, 
leaving mother, Maria and Sarah at the house, and we drove out Main 
Street, until we came to North Street, there we met our Seneca Indians 
retreating, and the Canadian Indians pursuing and firing on them. 
The bullets came whistling by us and Mr. Bemis, not liking the music, 
turned his course and drove back, and said to mother, (as we were 
flying past) that we would be compelled to go the other road on the 
Lake shore, but that he would return as soon as possible, and take away 
the remainder of the family. As we passed the head of Niagara 
Street, which was the place of the alarm gun, we looked down the 
street and saw the British army arrayed on Niagara Square, and a 
person before them, on horse-back, facing them, holding a white flag 
over his shoulder. The gun had been fired by the command of Seth 
Grosvenor, as it was too heavily loaded, it dismounted, and he could 



Sixth Genekation 215 

not gather together enough help to get it back. When we arrived 
at the ferry, one mile up the creek, called Pratt's Ferry, we were com- 
pelled to wait our turn to cross ; the ice was not thick enough to 
drive over, although people could walk across. 

After crossing we drove up the Lake shore. The people came 
flying by us, some one way, some another. There was Mrs. Atkins, 
who had fallen off the horse into the quicksand, with her baby. We 
came to Mr, Barker's tavern, eight miles from Buffalo. Mrs. Barker 
was very sick, and died on the 10th of January. We pursued our 
journey on toward Willink, as we were waiting for our way over the 
creek, we saw the smoke of the burning village, coming over the trees, 
so we knew it would be of no use to return. It was past 12 o'clock 
noon-day, when we left Mr. Barker's and we found snow and night 
coining on. Wo had a heavy load of household goods, and Mr. Bemis 
and his wife and their child, a baby — my sister IVIargaret (Mrs. Foot), 
my sister Parnell, Mrs. Sidway now, and myself, (Mrs. Martha St. 
Jolm Skinner) — my brother John Ransom St. John, of Lockport — 
brother Le Grand Cannon St. John, and yourself, Orson Swift St. 
John, the youngest child three years old. 

Now to our journey from Barker's to Willink. " The way Avas 
long and the night cold," when we were about three (3) miles from 
the tavern at Willink, something in the road, I believe a very steep 
place, the horses pulled so hard, something about the wagon broke, and 
we were compelled to get out of the wagon. So we three sisters walked 
along ahead, leaving the rest of the party with the wagon. The 
snow was deep and the road was strange, and we could hear nothing of 
our friends we had left behind us. Two or three roads came together 
at one place. 

We were unable to determine which road to take. Soon I heard 
a loud roaring in the woods, and I looked and saw a ball of fire com- 
ing, as I thought, from Buffalo, which might be some of the fire from 
the burning houses, blown over the tops of the trees. We stood still, 
till that passed — then another, then another, which were like meteors 
throwing off fire. 

We then pursued our course, following or taking the road over 
which the meteors flew. After day-light, we arrived at a log tavern. 
I do not remember the name of the people who lived there. We went 
in the first room we could, and that was a large room, with a large log 
fire. We were nearly benumbed with the cold — and when we ap- 
proached the fire, I saw Mrs. Sophia Pratt, wife of Samuel Pratt, and 
mother of Mr. Samuel F. Pratt, late of Buffalo. She was sitting in 
one corner watching some cooking going on for breakfast. She reached 
out her hand and took my hand, and drew me to her, and placed me 
between herself and the fire keeping my hands against her head and 
face to drive out the pain from my fingers, and saying kind words and 
comforting us all she could. I often think of her and think what a 



216 St, John Genealogy 

dear good woman she was. We were getting quite comfortable, she 
was preparing for breakfast, with baking bread, frying meat, with the 
most savory smell of sausage. Presently there came in, all nearly 
frozen, Mr. and Mrs. Bemis and the baby, and our three little brothers, 
John R. St. John, Le Grand C. St. John, Orson S. St. John ; they 
had all come on horse-back. 

They had left the wagon, load and all, and taken the horses. 
INIrs. Bemis on one horse with her baby in her arms, and one of the 
little boys behind her on the horse. Mr. Bemis took the other horse, 
with one little boy in his arms, and the other behind him — they arrived 
all safe but very cold. As soon as she could get warm enough, Mrs. 
Bemis connnenced her preparations for breakfast, making a large 
boiler full of chocolate and all that could be gathered together for a 
comfortable meal. 

Mr. Samuel Pratt cold me, one time when I met him at a party 
at Mrs. Sidway's, that she, his mother, had her bread ready to bake and, 
finding she could not bake it in Buffalo, she put it in a pillow case, and 
carried it to Willi nk to bake. 

I think I\Ir. Bemis procured a sleigh to proceed on with. We 
left the house full of people, many of whom went no farther. I saw 
two of Mr. Cyrenius Chapin's daughters, whom the Buffalo Gazette 
said, walked all the way from Buffalo. 

Now, we will proceed on our jurney, through Hamburg and 
Boston, over hills so high that it seemed as if we were going into 
the clouds. We arrived at Warsaw, which was in a valley — a pretty 
place, with a long bridge, I believe, over the Genesee River. We stayed 
there, or not far from there, until Mr. Bemis could return to Buffalo, 
as we knew nothing of the fate of those we had left at Buffalo. I 
cannot say that Mr. Bemis came back to us. I think it was the hired 
man, with horses and sleigh, that came and carried us all back. 

We learned they were alive and the house was not burned. We 
returned through the Indian village, and stopped at Corn-Planter's 
to warm us. The sun was setting as we drove over that beautiful 
prairie ground. The squaws were carrying bundles of sticks to their 
wigwams or huts. We came into Buffalo in time to see the chimneys 
standing. All seemed gloomy and desolate. We soon came in sight 
of our own home. The cellar walls were standing, and the chimney on 
the North side of the hall, and the one on the South side of the hall 
was standing. The large stone step on the Main Street was firm and 
in its place against the front wall. How sad was the change since 
we had seen it last. Tears were nothing now ; everybody had been 
weeping for days. While we were waiting at the ferry for our way 
over, I heard a loud groan and saw people looking up at the tops of 
the trees ; I turned my eyes and saw those awful clouds of smoke, 
rolling over and over, and the women shrieking and sobbing and 
all could avail them naught, for the destruction had commenced. There- 



Sixth Generation 217 

fore when we met our mother, we tried to be thankful for the small 
house, knowing our former home was lost, with nearly all the proceeds 
of a (father's) life, " whose constant care had been to increase his 

store." 

In the recital concerning the morning after we left Buffalo, my 
sister Sarah said, mother was standing in the door and Mr. Seth Gros- 
venor came along with a white flag on a walking-stick. 

He said if he could only gather citizens enough to assist him, he 
could drive them (the enemy) back, as he had sent the contents of- that 
gun among them with the effect to mow them down. 

Just then some few men on horseback were coming from Court 
Street, and as they came nearer, she (mother) walked to the road; 
the headmost one drew up his rein, and she said to him, " For mercy's 
sake do turn back and help Mr. Grosvenor manage that cannon and 
defend the town ; and let General Hall go — the miscreant ! ! He must 
be an awful coward." At that he raised his hat, curbed the bit, his 
horse set off with a dignified trot and the others followed suit. She 
was soon informed she had been talking to General Hall himself. She 
said she did not wish to recall her words — that if she had known 
him to be such she would have said more. The truth was the General 
was a plain farmer from Bloomfield and probably had Falstaff's valor, 
the better part being discretion ; sufficient at least, to seek a place 
of safety. He was one of those whom Oliver Cromwell would have 
called " Ye spurious sons of War." 

My mother said she saw an Indian pulling the curtains down 
from the window of Mr. Love joy's house, and saw Mrs. Lovejoy 
strike his hand with a carving knife — and saw the Indian raise the 
hatchet; but as the door closed she could not know for certain, that 
he had killed her. She did not dare to go and see. Soon there came 
along an advance guard, with a cannon and a (British) Colonel on 
horseback. 

He spoke very crossly and said, " Why are you not away ? " 
She said she had lost the opportunity, and now she had nowhere to go 
only out in the cold and perish in the snow. He said, " I have just 
now seen a very unpleasant sight in the house over the way. The 
Indians have killed a woman and I am very sorry any such thing 
sliould happen." " Well " said she, " I was fearful she would provoke 
them to kill her. I spoke to her and said do not risk your life for 
property, she answered: 'When my property goes, my life shall go 
with it.' " My mother asked the Colonel to set a sentinel by the large 
house and the one she was in, to prevent the Indians from coming 
in, and burning the houses. He said he had no power to issue such 
a command ; that she must go to General Rial ; he could say what 
might be done. He moved along with his party and cannon. 

The squaws were in the house plundering when she returned and 
very soon there came in a little dwarf, and spoke very lively to my 



218 St. John Genealogy 

mother and said, " Do not be frightened, Madam, you need not fear. 
There was an order issued this morning, from the Canadian officers, 
that no person should be molested, that was obliged to stay from 
sickness, or old age, or any accident or misfortune." My mother 
said: "Where is your commanding officer?" "Just down here in 
a log house, on the Niagara road." (At the Edsell Tannery, near the 
junction of Niagara, Mohawk and Morgan Streets.) So as a squaw 
had taken off the veil and bonnet from my mother and also her cloak, 
and had put her own squaw blanket about her (mother's) shoulders, 
and had served Sarah with the same change of dress ; they and Maria 
and the dwarf set off together ; he having informed my mother that 
he could speak six different languages and was the interpreter for 
the General Rial. So they took their course down to the corner of 
Delaware and Niagara Streets, and were ushered into the presence 
of the Indian commander, by the dwarf interpreter. The old bluff 
man said, " What do you require? " She said, " I came to ask you 
to send a guard to keep the Indians from burning the house, and 
from plundering our goods and clothing." He spoke a few words with 
the guide and they retraced their steps back to their home. The 
interpreter took his seat by the door ; it being winter, the door was 
closed and the Indians would bang their guns against the door; when 
the door was open, the interpreter would speak, and they would go away, 
looking as if they had met with severe reproof. In the course of 
the day, the house of Mrs. Lovejoy was set on fire, and mother and 
sisters Maria and Sarah, with the hired man, old Mr. Pettingill, and 
others, went to the house and took the body of Mrs. Lovejoy out 
of the house and laid her body on a pile of boards by the side of the 
fence, so she need not be consumed by the fire. Then they went into 
the house and saw that it did not burn fast, so they made an attempt 
to put out the fire, and did succeed. When night was coming on, they 
thought they would carry her body in again, and as the old man was 
very weak and old, they would like more help. They looked up street 
and saw Mr. Walden. So sister started Sarah on a run to ask him 
to come and assist. 

He came ; they, Walden, mother, Maria and Sarah, lifted the 
body and carried it and placed it on the cords of a bedstead. I re- 
ceived a number of the Sandusky Clarion, containing an account of 
a gentleman living in Ohio, near Sandusky. He said that he was a boy 
at the time that Buffalo was burned, and was living about half a mile 
from Buffalo towards Black Rock ; that his father took his gun and 
went to the battle ; and that his mother prepared breakfast, but before 
they could oat, his father returned and said they had no time to lose, 
the British were just behind them; so they dashed out and followed 
with the crowd, and they came up to where they were loading the gun, 
ready for resistance, but they did not dare to stop. They followed 
the crowd up the creek, but they did not cross the creek, staying about 



/ 



Sixth Generation 219 

and sleeping that night in a barn. The next morning they returned 
to the village and went to my mother's (Mrs. St. John's) and got 
some breakfast and they went over to see Mrs. Lovejoy. She was lying 
on the })edstead ; was a tall woman, dressed in black silk dress, with 
her long black hair hanging down, reaching through the cords, to 
the floor. He said they all stood about her and shed tears. Then 
the Indians came again the third day and set the house on fire and she 
was burned in it, theu Mr. Lovejoy came and gathered her bones in 
a handkerchief and buried them. 

The large house of ours had been set on fire, and Sarah drew 
water from the well, and mother, Maria, and the old hired man carried 
it and poured it on the fire, 'till it was out. 

Then there was a sentinel set to guard it, but after the bugle 
blow for retreat, the third day there came back an Indian on horse- 
back, with a waiter on another horse. The officer dismounted, and 
gave his rein to his waiter, and went into the house, and began to 
gather some combustible material such as paper and straw and the 
clock case, from which a squaw had taken the works, split up and 
blew one pistol into and set fire to it. My mother had just arrived 
and attempted to put out the fire. At that, the Indian, who spoke 
English, told her she must go to her house, for he intended to burn 
that one. She said she " would have no income if that was destroyed, 
and I am a widow, and I have lost my sons." He said, " Very likely, 
that may be true, but you have left to you one roof, and that is more 
than the Americans left our widows, when they came over, they only 
left the brands of the houses after they were burned." He then drew 
another pistol and pointed it at her saying, " If she wished to save 
her life, she must leave and return to her house they had left for 
her." My mother said, " I do not intend to risk my life for property 
but this is my home. I took the other to have the income from this." 
He said, " Very probably, but " said he, " this will be a rendezvous for 
four thousand troops before tomorrow night." This was the last 
day. The barn was burned on the first day. On the first day some 
of the British ordered the old hired man to burn the barn. The old 
man came in wiping his eyes. My mother said, " What is the matter.? " 
he said, " I must do what I never did expect to do ; they say I must 
burn your barn; and see, they have taken the woolen mittens you 
made me and made me take these old worn out buck-skin a-auntlets." 
My mother said, " Oh, well — it cannot be helped, you had better 
obey their orders." So he took the brand of fire from the hearth and 
went out and set the barn on fire. Many of the houses were standing 
on New Year's day. Our own large house was not burned until the 
last day of the burning, and all had been burned but ours. When the 
bugle blew, the sentinels were removed and all had left when the Indian, 
C'arr, (a half-breed who married Brant's daughter,) returned, re- 
solved to burn It.

This being the second day of January, they had hopes that those 
houses would be saved, but while at breakfast, the old man came in 
and said, " I think I have heard the Indians whoop down towards 
Black Rock." They rose, my mother took the table-cloth for a 
flag and waved it out of a window; the West chamber window at the 
head of the stairs, and seeing an Indian running by the house, she looked 
to see where he was going, and saw Sarah running towards Mohawk 
Street. Mother called vehemently saying " Don't run." The old 
man was trying to run, too, but he stumbled ; the Indian helped to 
lift him, and took some vermilion and painted his face. Seeing that, 
Sarah turned back and shook hands with the old Indian, and he painted 
her face. She returned to the house. Then there came alona; the 
British officer on horseback, and stopped near the house and said, 
" Why did you not go away ? " She told him she had no where to go. 
When he saw the paint on Sarah's face he asked how that came to be 
so. She told how she attempted to run away on seeing the Indian that 
morning, but as she saw he was not disposed to murder the old hired 
man, she turned back and was painted, too. The officer looked very 
angry about it and told her to go and wash it off. She said, if he 
(the Indian) should see her again, she was afraid he would be dis- 
pleased. He said he would insure her safety. She then went and 
washed her face. 

The officer rode along, and the Indians commenced burning the 
houses again; burning Mrs. Lovejoy's and Mr, Bemis' house over 
the way opposite ours, and all was burned and the sentinels removed. 

In a few days we returned, and all our neighbors came into 
town ; and the mothers from Bloomfield came to Buffalo to identify 
their sons who had been killed, and buried in a mound in the grave 
ground. They had been buried without coffins. 

My mother gave the Bloomfield people refreshments, and they 
warmed themselves by the fire, they seemed to be sadly afflicted. 

In a few days Judge Granger, the Indian Agent, said to my mother» 
that his family were in Canandaigua, and he was going there to stay 
the remainder of the winter ; that he was afraid to leave his house 
empty, for fear that it would be filled with soldiers ; that he would 
leave his sisters, Mrs. Remington and her family and Mrs. Forward 
and her family, and he would give a room or two to my mother if she 
would move out there, and that would leave no room for the Quarter- 
master to take. We made ready to accept Judge Granger's kind offer, 
and moved to his place, out on the Three ]\Iile Creek. Before moving 
mother rented the small house to Mr. Holden Allen, father of Levi 
Allen, for $300.00. By the kindness of an aunt, (Mrs. Philander 
Bennett's mother) part of the family were carried away to Oneida 
County, and the younger part, with my mother, moved out to the 
Granger farm. We were very comfortable, with old John Puffin- 
burg to take care of the families and a very large flock of sheep.

My mother was the daughter of the Rev. Cyrus Marsh, the first 
settled minister in the town of Kent, State of Connecticut. 

He was ordained in May, 1741, and preached to a colony of 
twelve families — the Ransoms and Comstocks, and the Stars and nine 
other families. I do not know her age (79 when she died) but she 
was in New York when the British had just left that city, and attended 
the celebration of the evacuation by the British. I believe she was 
seventeen. (As I, O. S. St. John, remember having heard her say, 
that she was seven years old when the War of the Revolution com- 
menced, she must have been, at that time, not far from fourteen years 
old.) 

I cannot write any more at present. I cannot come to Buffalo 
this winter. I am quite well and wish all a Happy New Year. 

Mrs. Martha St. John Skinner. 

Mrs. Skinner died at Willoughby, Lake Co., Ohio, on the morning 
of the 11th of March, 1880, in her 77th year. During her last sick- 
ness, I ol)tained her confirmation of the foregoing narration, and what 
there is in the following and preceding that of the principal letter, 
which I hand over to the Society for comparison or reference. 

Mrs. Skinner said that some years after the burning of Buffalo 
— on the occasion of the Government sending out a commission — to 
examine and appraise the damages which each family or individual had 
suffered by the burning of their buildings — my mother, thinking that 
the damage had not been fairly assessed, directed my sister, Mrs. 
Beiiiis, to write several letters, which mother dictated and mailed to 
Richard Bland Lee, (of Washington) who was at the head of the 
claims department.

(T. S.). 

Joseph Earl Sheffield lived to be over 90 years of age. The ex- 
tent of his fortune is unknown, but it is estimated at about $10,000,000. 
Mr. Sheffield had a wide reputation owing to his benefactions to 
Yale College. It is owing to his magnificent gifts to that institution 
that the Sheffield Scientific School is now placed in its present high 
position among the technical schools in this country. His mother, 
Isabel Thorpe, was the daughter of Walter Thorpe, of Southport, 
in the West India trade. 

In 1808 Mr. Sheffield was employed at the age of about 15 years 
in a store in Newbern, N. C. He was afterwards engaged in busi- 
ness with Henry Kneeland, an old and respected merchant of New 
York, and was engaged in buying and shipping cotton. His various 
enterprises in the South, in connection with the business interests of 
Mobile, were successful in results, and in 1835 he refused the presi- 
dency of the Mobile branch of the U. S. Bank. 

In 1822 he married Miss Maria St. John, of Delaware Co., N. Y., 
and in 1835 came to New Haven, devoting much of his energy to the 
building of the Northampton Road, which would probably never have 
been built except for his persistence and courage. He was one of the 
chief projectors of the railroad between New Haven and New York, 
and in 1850, in company with Henry Fornam, built and equipped the 
railroad between Chicago and Rock Island, at a cost of over $5,000,- 
000, within two and a half years after signing the contracts. He 
was a director in the company which constructed the Mississippi and 
Missouri Railroad until 1856, when he declined a re-election. 

]\Ir. Sheffield's gifts to Yale College really commenced in 1846 
and when they were made from time to time until 1870, they had 
amounted to a large sum. He gave the building in which the Sheffield 
School was started ; twice re-fitted and enlarged it ; gave a fund of 
$130,000 for professorships; a library fund of $10,000, afterwards 
increased to $12,000, and paid for the Hillhouse Mathematical Library 
$41,000. He also gave $2,700 to the Collier Cabinet, besides con- 
tributing to the current expenses of the Sheffield School. These 
gifts amounted to no less than $250,000. In 1870 Mr. Sheffield gave 
the ground for a large new building in Prospect Street and paid for 
the erection thereon of the building known as North Sheffield Hall. 
He has given large sums at different times to the Berkeley Divinity 
School, in Middletown ; to Trinity College, Hartford, and the The- 
ological Seminary of the Northwest in Chicago. He has also built, 
in New Haven, a Parish Home in connection with Trinity Church, a 
beautiful and costly building, paying about $75,000, and has been a 
contributor to the Orphan Asylum and various institutions there and' 
elsewhere.

He was First Clerk of Walton, N. Y., Apl. 4, 1797, to Apl. 2, 1799 ; 
Supervisor of Roads, Mar. 1806-1819. The following is from the 
New Canaan Messenger (Historical Notes), Feb. 27th, 1892, Patriots 
of Canaan Parish. 1776: 

David St. John, Sergt., was also a soldier in the Continental 
Army. He was in Capt. Daniel Benedict's Company, under command 
of Lieut. Col. John Mead, (of Greenwich) and was in service at New 
York, marching Aug. 12th 1776. During that service they lost 
their Captain, who was captured, and died in prison; (the old Sugar 
House) and after their return the company was reorganized, and he 
continued as first Sergt under Capt. John Carter. In October the 



242 St. John Genealogy 

company was again ordered to march to the Westchester border, and 
place themselves under Gen. Wooster. His name is still found on the 
roll-call of the 9th Co. June 1779 under Capt Reuben Scofield, com- 
manded by Col. John Mead. And it again appears in the list of 
Revolutionary pensioners, at the age of 87 years. 

David St John was the son of David and Jemima St John ; and 
was about 17 years of age when he entered the Continental army. 
He married and with his wife joined the Church in 1786. Their home 
is yet to be located. 

The military record of this Co., is found in the Adj't. Gen's. 
Report of the " Men of Connecticut in the War of the Revolution," 
pp. 458, 485.

The following sketch of No. 1160, above, is from The Arena: 

" One of the ablest authorities on finance in America to-day is 
Mr. William Pope St. John, M. A., president of the Mercantile Na- 
tional Bank of New York and author of the proposed platform for 
American Independents, pubhshed in our June issue. This prominent 
Metropolitan banker was born in Mobile, Ala., being the son of New- 
ton St. John of the firm of St. John. Powers & Co., bankers, and 
for twenty-five years agents in the South for Baring Bros. & Co., of 
London. Mr. St. John's ancestors were intimately connected with 
the foundation and political life of our government. 

" His mother, Maria Pope, was a daughter of Alexander Pope 
and Dorothy Bibb, of Georgia, the latter being a sister of William 
Bibb, the Territorial Governor and first State Governor of Alabama. 
The father of Alexander "Pope, ]Mr. St. John's great-grandfather, 
was Charles Pope, of Delaware, lieutenant-colonel of the Revolutionary 
regiment known as " the Blue Hen's Chickens," which constituted the 
first independent command of Lafayette. 

" Mr. St. John's paternal great-grcat-grandfathcr having been 
one of the twenty-five founders of the town of Ridgcfield, Conn. Air. 
St. John is thus eligible to membership in the New England Society 
and the Southern Society, and on his father's side is eligible to the 
State Societies of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, and on 
his mother's side of Delaware, Georgia and Alabama. He is therefore 
intensely American. 

" Mr. St. John's school days beginning in Mobile, continued in 
Germany and England and ended in Massachusetts. After terminat- 
ing his education, he entered the employ successively of several dis- 
tinctly different kinds of business, with houses standing first in their 
line. His last engagement, prior to entering banking was in employ- 
ment with the largest sugar refinery firm of our country, where he 
had full charg-e of the sales during four vears. Some idea of the 
magnitude of its business can be gained from the fact that the sales 
for a single year aggregated $5,000,000. 

" In January, 1881, he was tendered the cashiership of the Mer- 
cantile National Bank of New York City, and two years later on the 
death of the President of that institution, he was promoted to the 
first position in that bank, which office he has filled ever since. Under 
the presidency of ]\Ir. St. John, during thirteen years, the Mercantile 
National Bank has trebled the volume of its deposits, and besides 
paying regular - semi-annual dividends, has accumulated $1,000,000 of 
surplus earnings. Mr. St. John is also a director or trustee in other

banks and institutions of New York, and has been a frequent con- 
tributor to financial literature. Williams College has conferred upon 
him the honorary degree of M. A. 

" In 1884 INIr. St. John was elected a member of the finance com- 
mittee of the New York Chamber of Commerce, a position to which 
he was annually re-elected for a total period of eight years. Upon 
his first election the Chairman urged upon him, as the junior member, 
the obligation to devote research to the silver question. He began 
that research as a pronounced gold-standard man, and with all the 
prejudice against silver money which still prevails in that Chamber 
of Commerce. At a convention of bankers in 1883 he had asserted of 
the Bland Act, which provided a limited coinage of silver, that it 
was ' dishonest in inception and vicious in its tendencies.' The first six 
years of his research were devoted to a painstaking endeavor to 
substantiate with the facts of history his pre-conceived false notions, 
which he shared with his fellow-members of the Chamber. 

" After six years' research he began to differ from the conclusions 
of the finance committee, setting forth his views in a minority report. 
After nine years of research Mr. St. John advocated boldly the 
restoration of silver and its unlimited coinage in the United States." 

A note is here added on the family of Mary Jane (Pope) St. John, 
first wife of Newton St. John, and mother of his children, given above.

at Work While Fire Raged. — The only Government de- 
partment in the San Francisco Custom House in which 
work has continued uninterruptedly is that of Surveyor 
of the Port Woodward. He and his Chief Deputy, Chaun- 
cey M. St. John, were at their desks by 9 o'clock in the 
morning of Wednesday, and remained there all day. 

" The fire crept up toward them from the water front 
and finally was on all four sides of the building. Amid 
the roar of the conflagration, the crash of falling walls 
and the excitement attending the work of the 150 sailors 
who saved the building, their work went on uninterrupted. 
Inspectors fought their way to the building, reported 
to Mr. St. John, and received further orders regarding 
their work along the water front. 

" It was a severe ordeal, but neither the Surveyor, his 
deputy, nor his Inspectors showed any inclination to aban- 
don their posts until their day's work was done. They 
have kept at their work ever since (N. Y. Times, April 
— 24, 1906).

New York City in 1832-1838. He was a man of culture. Literature, 
art, and music found favor with him. He was benevolent and generous, 
almost too trustful, as a so-called friend later caused his financial 
failure. In California he retrieved the fortune he had lost. When 
in N. Y. City he was a member of the Philharmonic Society. He was 
an intimate friend, while in N. Y. City, of William Cullen Bryant. 
They were fellow-members of the Art Association, where they often 
studied the paintings together. The friendship, continued until 1871, 
when a letter filled with reminiscences of early association came to 
him from the poet, and was long treasured by him.

"James Allen St. John inherited his mother's and grandfathers 

talent and is a portrait painter of some note. 

" He began his art studies at a very early age. He says, in 
speaking of his childhood: 'My first recollections are my mothers 
studio, and the eyes of her portraits following me about the place 

" His mother's father was Hilhard Hely, an artist of consider- 
able talent, who had spent his student life in Paris under the supervi- 
sion of the worthy masters of those days of the First Empire. His 
dauo-hter received her first lessons from him, and later on Mrs. St. 
John became the teacher of her young son. When he was eight years 
old, Mrs. St. John went to Paris to continue her studies, taking the 
boy with her. ' Even as a child,' said Mr. St. John, ' I found delight 
in the society of so-called bohemians my mother gathered around her, 
and one of my greatest pleasures was to ramble at will through the 
Louvre, the Luxembourg and the countless quaint and charmmg cor- 
ners of the unfashionable parts of the city, so dear to all dreamers. 
But I unconsciously imitated those with whom I was brought m con- 
tact, and began to sketch and paint before I could read and write.' 



490 St. Johx Genealogy 

" Mr. St. John retui'iicd to America after some years of this idle, 
joyous hfe, and after ^oinf:^ throu^'h the usual course of schooling 
liis father took liini in hand when he reached the age of sixteen and 
decided to give him tlie chance of becoming a good tlirifty merchant. 
He bought him a partnersliip with a man of practical experience; but 
the dreamy boy was ill-adapted to the work and rebelled so vigorously 
that his father sent him, as a last resource, to his imcle's ranch in the 
San Joaquin valley of California, with the injunction to regain his 
health, to ride and to shoot, and to become a cowboy, pure and simple, 
for a time at least. 

" The lad's mind was still on the happy days of Paris and his 
early attempts at sketching when he was suddenly brought into the 
picturesque scenery and environment of Southern California. 

" While on a trip to Los Angeles he had the good fortune to fall 
under the influence of INIr. Eugene Torrey, an accomplished artist, and 
at one time a student in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. This meeting decided 
the career of the young man. He threw all other pre-arranged plans 
to the wind and spent the next three years studying under his artist 
friend. He traveled with him from place to place, drawing and paint- 
ing the old Spanish missions, and seeking inspiration from the glories 
of the Yosemite and the snow-covered peaks of the Sierra-Madre." —

5060a DANIEL ST. JOHN (DanieP, Samuel% Matthias^ Mat-

was killed by the Indians, July 8, 1778, when moving his fam- 
ily from the Wyoming Valley. He had reached Atherton's, near 
Providence. " Daniel St. John's wife saved herself and her child, 
Daniel, by hiding in a hollow log" (M. M. St. John). A Daniel St. 
John was one of the signers of the Minisink Pledge, June 26, 1775 



Unclassified 525 

(Stickney's Minisink, p. 76). He was also an associator in Minisink 
in 1775. A Daniel St. John was in 1776 taxed for £31 in Pittston Dist., 
Wyoming, Penn. ; as also on Aug. 1, 1777. and in 1778. Ex-Gov- 
enior John P. St. John is the great-grandson of the above Daniel. 
Daniel, father of No. 238, had a dau. Rebecca, who m. Uriah Chapman 
and had Lucy D. The latter m. a Schoonover and had a son, Uriali, 
whose name by act of legislature was changed to C. M. Bell. The 
latter, writing to ex-Gov. John P. St. John, says, " My grandmother, 
Rebecca St. John, was sister to A^our grandfather, Daniel St. John." 
Evidently Dr. Bell leaves out a generation, his grandmother, Rebecca, 
probably being a sister of the ex-Governor's great-grandfather.
